Subject
Steam Freight Train
Description
Helper 7526 will be cut away from extra 3100 west on the fly just around the curve. The train will pick up speed quickly behind the agile 4-8-2 on the first leg of its 190-mile run to the IHB's Gibson yard in Hammond, Indiana. The prosaic 0-8-0 will clank back down to the yard for further switching chores. This engine is a member of class U-2e, and was built by Lima in 1917.
