From an American fried I got a couple of days ago this picture. It show an Italian steamer class 480 under the colours of the Goat Company, Great Northern. Further investigations reported that a single locomotive of this 2-10-0 Decapod class has been transfered into North America at the end of WWII and showed up together with the other German locomotives at Ft. Monroe.
Differently from what happened to the German steamer, which has been dismantled, the 480 has been sold to a banchline in Nebraska successivelly absorbed by Great Nrthern.
In the picture the 480, renumbered 4801, with the Goat emblem on the tender as seen ad a remote Junction of GN system.
Thanks to Osvald Overseen for his great contribution to railroad history.
