USA Army transport command S160 No 5820

The star of the film Yanks


The quiet gave me chance to get up close 


You won't miss that with a shovel full of the black
stuff


A good fire in the hole


It has been a popular locomotive since its restoration


Built by the American Locomotive Company
Lima Ohio. The chime whistle is a delight to 
hear. Sounds of the prairies.
