These Texas types were amazing pieces of machinery. Great photo, a real gem if you ask me.

The PRR had a decent size fleet of 2-10-4's as well. They were liked enough that the PRR leased several Sante Fe 2-10-4's near the end of the steam era. Nice photo.

Some thing that's not seen anymore, is the live stock cars on the front of 5033s train. Loaded live stock cars were always placed at the front of trains to facilitate their quick removal at locations where the cars would be unloaded and the livestock would be fed and watered for a day or two, then the cars would be re-loaded to continue their trip.

Bruce, you captured the huge strength of these great locomotives.
