AtlantaSteam Locomotive
Posted by britrailfan on Monday, September 14, 2009 4:23 PM

I came across the above locomotive at the Atlanta Underground Mall in 2006. I understand it was built by Crown in 1964 nd was named 'General Sam Houston' and is built to 36'' gauge. Its previous ownership is ex Warner Brothers Studio and Six Gun Territory Silver Springs. Can anyone shed any further information eg. Was it on a park railway or was it used for films. If the latter - what films?

  I found a little info in a search.

From the below site. Build date is 1962.

General Sam Houston SGT 4 Crown 1962   In Silver Springs, Fl.

They also built the General Robert E Lee, 4-4-0 in 1963.

You would be surprised at what you can find with a little 'Net searching.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
