Viewing Album: SLSF "Frisco" 2-8-0's #970-989
By:
Gary Everhart
Dates:
7/22/1933 - 10/15/1949
Album Info:
Fairly nice group of older b&w photos of St Louis-San Francisco 2-8-0 Consolidations with numbers in the 970-989. Ten locos in this range were sold to New Orleans, Texas & Mexico so it is not a complete set here. These photos were all taken by Springfield, MO, resident, Arthur B Johnson.

Sadly this photo shows the once useful Frisco 2-8-0 Consolidation #979 sitting in the scrap line awaiting the scrapper's torch which was applied during this month of 1948.
