Thanks, Ken. Taken at Steamtown in October, 2019. I couldn't resist the snarky comment.

Thanks, Jill. Steamtown only has a few locomotives, and only one that works. At one time, there was over 165, I believe, but when Congressman McDade fell into disgrace, Congress slashed the funding, and most were sent to other museums around the country.

The train doesn't look too intent on staying the the straight and narrow behind the engine.

But it does have brand new white tires. Those brakes at the rear two power wheels must be from one of those inexpensive tool stores. (Definitely not two by fours!)

For me an unusual locomotive.
I'm seeing tank locomotive with two air pumps.
Was this a switcher?

Too bad this locomotive is in such sad shape. It will never be able to move on its own without the connecting rods attached to the driving cylinder. Canadian National locomotive Hudson Type.

Number 47, built-in 1914 as number 1542 for the Grand Trunk RR, became Canadian National Railway property in 1923 and was used exclusively in commuter service.
