Proof that you can't fix ugly! This little tank engine began life as Kelly Lime & Transport No. 13. It worked for the Cadillac & Lake City in the 1960s, then went to the Reese Central in Michigan, and then wound up at Jerry Jacobson's Southwest Virginia Scenic Railroad at Hiltons, Virginia, where it was used with a pair of home-built coaches. I first encountered it in 1988 at the Deadwood Central, a short-lived tourist line at Deadwood, South Dakota. Today it's servicable at Prairie Village near Madison, South Dakota. I think it would look better without the fake stack.
The worst of railroad design. Please, send me your entries / suggestions for the "Album of the ugly trains of the world" (past or present, paint scheme or shape).
