Lyons Yard, Westville, IL Lyons-Paris T/A local. Larry Baggerly says: Here is my engineer!! John Franklin from Trafalger Indiana. I miss him still! Imagine doing local switching with that L-2 Lawrence Baggerly Collection.
Lovely, I love their front end look. It's amusing that Larry was suprised by an L-2 doing local switching. Sometime around 1950 I watched a B&M FT ABBA brace do some local switching. I'll admit that was the only time, but it was fun to watch.
Roger, you and Larry have a great collection of '50's shots and I love them. I'm with Hank on the smokebox front of the L-2's. I never cared much for the "Selkirk" flat face front on L-3s and L-4s. And even today, I have seen 4-8-4 SP 4449 switching.
