US Army S-160 2-8-0's

These engines really have been a favorite of mine since I saw my first one. Does anyone have any photos, slides or movies of them in service on the Alaska RR, US Army at Ft. Eustis, VA or anywhere else they would like to sell or share?

Thanks,
Roger

I will try to hunt down some pics. There was one if not more in use at Camp Blanding near Starke, Fl.
