They had ex T&NO 4-4-0 216 for a while. Until the 60s she was a well preserved 1900 rebuild of an 1880s ex UP engine. I visited her often at her final operating home, a sugar mill in Erath, LA. Steamtown of all people butchered her making a bogus “Golden Spike “ engine. I’m pretty sure she went to Portola after that, and I believe now is at some CA winery on static display, restored to a 1900 appearance.
