On a weekend trip to Branson, MO, I saw an old cabose sitting in a large field behind the "Branson Strip," or Hwy 76. After looking closer, there was a locomotive there also.....small, maybe an 0-4-0 or 2-4-0 (couldn't get very close) and the tender carried the number 3. Anybody know any history on this engine? Thanks,
Alan

According to Wes Barris's site there is a standard guage 0-4-0T that belonged to the Long Bell Lumber Company, numbered 3, that is suppose to be on display in Branson.
