It's a K-27 "Mudhen" narrow gauge steam locomotive. One of my favorites. It's an old Denver, and Rio Grande Western steamer who was sold off to Knott's Barry Farm in the 1970s or 60s, and sold to the Huckleberry Railroad in '81 which is in Michigan. I think it's a 2-8-2, I could be wrong.

I call Dibs too. Just let me know if I'm right.

Cheers,
Joshua

K-27 464's sister engine, 463 is under rebuild in the C&TS loco shops.

hmm
all are right except #1, what is the Full Name of CSX? or what does CSX mean?

 

[SantaFebuff]

Chessie Seaboard X. The "X" symbolizes the intersection of the Chessie System and the Seaboard. Or a representation of their merger.

Cheers,

Chessie Seaboard

CSX was only meant to be a temp name until they came up with something better amazing how it stuck and still in use today.
