Canadian-built 4-8-0, still stored in Jamaica. This engine was used in a movie (supposed to be set in Africa) called "Dark of the Sun".

Taken apparently when still operable.

Looks like they're pretty much shut down now.

Has anyone ever seen another 4-8-0 with the main rod connected to the third driver?

If memory serves, I think the Missouri Pacific 1800 class were originally built with the 2nd as the main driver, but were rebuilt and the 3rd driver was made the main.
