Description She looks like she was an elegant one back in the day, wouldn't you say? Probably had a fine career on passenger trains, always shined up and looking fancy. Who really knows? Besides, she still looks classy under a layer of grime. She's traded her coaches for coal cars, that's all. Couple of name changes, maybe a rebuild here or there, and now she drags hoppers through the West Virginia hollers. Nobody really knows when she was built because her builder's plates are long gone. But, the crew is proud of their 6-spot, and keep her clean when they have the time.

Also, when I lived in Charleston, WV, there was a bookstore in the Farmer's Market, there was an old B&W photo of a similar loco to this one! Slopeback tender & everything!

Very likely West Virginia Central, they had some similar stuff.

Nice story to a nice engine. I like how the story featured her aging and becoming less wanted, yet not making you feel sad for it. (plus, I love the 2-6-0 design for this, classic narrow gauge action!)

Is she Standard or Narrow Gauge? I only ask because of how small her drivers are.
