<P>The 90 is NOT a Russian. It's a 1924 Baldwin "Standard" Decapod, of which twenty or thirty were built for various railroads with light axle loading requirements. Gainesville Midland ran four of them in the 1950s, three of which came from the Seaboard Air Line. Three of them still exist, but not in operating condition. </P> <P>SAL 544 is a Russian preserved at the NC Museum at Spencer. That was its original number, but it was sold to the GM and ran as its 206 during the 1950s.</P> <P>Look at a photo of the 90 and a photo of a Russian. You can't mistake them. All they have in common is the wheel arrangement.</P> <P>Ol' Ed</P>
