| Rail fan Jim Lockart caught this beautifully restored Baldwin 2-6-2 Prairie type steam locomotive in action with the tourist train at North Conway, NH. Built in January of 1920 (sr 52820, it was originally San Augustine Cnty Lumber Co #108 and became Angelina & Naches River RR 108 until 1954.. Sold to Reader RR as their #108 in 1956 where it was rebuiilt with 47" drivers and 18x24" cylinders. Eventually it was sold to Conway Scenic in 1976 and in service until 1986. Due to mechanical issues and being an expensive oil burner, the loco was never rebuilt. It was finally sold in 1999 to the Rannoch Corporation in Texas and then to the Robbins Rail Museum where it sits in parts today. |
