Please let us share a few photos that John Engs took on a recent trip to Antonito. Thanks to John for supplying these pics.

The complexity of the old iron horse is amazing. This was high-tech in 1903. Of course it was different with compounding of the original design. The addition of superheating probably more than made up for conversion to a "simple" engine in terms of complexity.

The photos are great, but it will be a wonderful sight to see it in steam!

Regards,

It is interesting to see the 'economy' brand firebox clamshell doors. John Coker told me once that the 315 group had to get a pattern made to cast new ones for their engine. Something like $10,000.00
