Lake Wales, FL

[BaltACD]

Was driving from Sebring to Jacksonville and got detoured around highway bridge construction on US 27 in Lake Wales, FL.  The detour took me past a old railroad station that had a caboose, passenger car and a center cab locomotive whose manufacturer I could not tell.

Anyone have any further information?

I believe that is the Lake Wales History Museum aka Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Depot:

Thanks for the links.  They don't identify what the locomotive that is parked there is.  It is a small center cab deal with rounded corners both horizontal and vertical and painted a fading light blue with no ownership identity painted on it.

It appears to be a Whitcomb.  With its low cab, it could be ex-US Army.
