Another unknown steam locomotive on display in Childress, Texas:

I looked at the picture and it looked like a 4-6-2 numbered 501. I noticed that the logo on the tender looks like the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy logo. After a bit of searching, I found that the steamer is Ex-Fort Worth & Denver (a subsidiary of the Burlington) F3-A class 4-6-2 #501. It appears that Childress was an important place on the Fort Worth & Denver, as it had a roundhouse and a major shop facility.

The number 66195 on the former UK locomotive is impossible to miss, but I can't make out the number on the grey locomotive as it is obscured by dirt...

I was looking into steam engine shops... and i happen to encounter this Gem.
https://www.strasburgrailroad.com/mechanical-department/

It has a link to google maps on the bottom...
So i looked at them on google maps...
Which eventually led me to the google maps link below, which I then placed here.

I lived in pa, and this is the first i have ever heard of this place, it has a railroad museum of PA.. clearly i didn't live in pa long enough.

Located in Strasburg, PA is...
Strasburg Railroad Engine # 90 fireman shoveling coal, live action shot, close up, side access road that google actually went down. Someone needs to remove that chain or secure it better.

They also run what looks like a 7 1/2 scale rr too, engine #3, also standing near, to the right,is the engineer, and fireman, plus what looks like a breakman on the left, for a 7 1/2 scale.?,,,

That should count too since its manned. And just as dirty.

But, how can a 7 1/2 scale get that dirty? They must be a swap out crew for engine # 90?
