Description
USA! USA!This steam locomotive was built in 1943, right in the middle of WW2, which also explains the way he looks. It was built in style of American construction during the war: easy to build and easy to maintain. This locomotive was mostly used as transport for the American troops that were invading Europe during the Second World War. After the war, it was being used as a shunting locomotive in Heerlen. Since 1980 he's being used for the museum line Goes-Borsele.
During and after the war, he got a lot of upgrades and bugfixes. This is also the only remaining steam locomotive of his kind in the Benelux.

I think it might be? There are more than 100 of these still surviving today, so that's pretty much possible
