All Gee I missed the first

If "I missed the first" means that it's a different locomotive, that's obvious.

Look at the firebox section, it's squared off, as compared to the second and third locomotive pictures. Now look at the pilot truck, or what's left of it.

Then  we can always ask why the scrapped locomotives appear to be in the desert and the finished one is in a forrest.

Too bad the photos of the locomotives being scrapped aren't even the same type locomotive.
