Description

40 years ago I photographed a sister of this engine at the Elmhurst Chicago Stone quarry in Elmhurst. [link] It seems like a lot of small engines get preserved because they are relatively inexpensive to repair and maintain... though in this case the drive rod bearings seem to be an issue.

This one is at Fox River Trolley Museum in South Elgin treading the same rails it was built to serve in 1946.

Small switchers and industrial critters are my favorite types of locomotive.
