You gotta love this one! This engine is a standard-gauge wood burning Mogul that worked in the timber industry in the South. The writeup on the railroad's site tells us that this engine is a movie star with appearances in many movies, including Boxcar Bertha and Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?
Baldwin also built the narrow-gauge, cabbage stacked Number 2 and Number 6 Moguls that we love at Mt. Pleasant. Those locomotives worked in the timber industry in the Southeast, and were purchased by the Midwest Central Railroad in the early 1960's.
CLICK HERE to visit the Orange Blossom site, but you will be disappointed to read that this railroad ceased operations two years ago. Dang. Thanks for spotting this one for us, Merle!
