Here are a couple more photos given to me by Rick Boutall back in the mid sixties.\u00a0 I need help on these, as I have no information about this locomotive.\u00a0 This Heisler was likely photographed in 1964 or 1965 (based on the “65” imprinted on the right edge of the photo borders), and the backs are stamped with Rick’s typical property stamp.\u00a0 But beyond that, nothing!<\/p>\n

She’s obviously “hot” as small wisps of steam can be seen around the steam chest.\u00a0 There are very faint traces of the previous owner’s name above the five on the tank, but I’m not able to discern the markings.\u00a0 The scene is very typical of southern Louisiana, but of course I have no way of knowing if this is even the general location.<\/p>\n
