Here's a double-headed pair of EM-1s with 7600 in the lead being overtaken by B&O's only T-3a No. 5564. Above, E-6A&B #57 handles a mail and express train while a local freight with a wagon-top caboose rumbles down grade...

More Steam, Please!

..............except the Frisco operated no farther west than Floydada, Texas.Oops - Sign

But certainly the road got that name from San Francisco, and the car itself could easily have gone there.  It's all in fun anyway, so who really cares?  Nice car, by the way.  I've always been partial to that paint scheme. Big Smile
