Recently moved here from the Galveston Railroad Museum, HB&T rests in its new forever home (hopefully). This is a nice little railroad museum at a junction that's nearly 150 years old in Rosenberg, TX.
Built in 1950 for HB&T, it served its whole operating life on that railroad before being retired in the early 1990s.
As an interesting side note, when observing the S2 closely, one may notice that the wheels on each truck are of different diameters. I could not figure out why this happened, but it appears to have been a later modification (repurposed smaller wheels from another locomotive).
Also interesting is the car behind HB&T 14, which is an old car that transported helium. Jokes about "how did they keep it from floating away" were not immediately obvious the the museum crew.
