Taken at the Museum of the American Railroad in fair park, dallas tx. www.dallasrailwaymuseum.com
0-6-0 Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1923. Spent its entire life switching passenger, mail and express cars at Dallas Union Terminal. Retired in 1963. This is the part that I didnt like it. I think it still could of been running today if the funds were in place to do so. "The locomotive steamed into Fair Park where its fire was dropped for the last time"
When I was 11 or 12 my Grandfather took me on the last trip Nr. 7 made from Union Station to the round house before going to Fair Park. I got to "drive" it for a little way. Now I'm 59 and maybe one of the last people around to do that.
