Anyone know any thing about a Baldwin 2-6-0, built in 1907, serial number 29900? Currently on the "Tavares, Eustis and Gulf" tourist line.

You can google the railroad and get some info. I found, "It began its life working in the backwoods of Texas as a logging engine. It was rescued from the scrap heap by the Reader Railroad, restored, and put to work hauling tourists and starring in Western films such as '3:10 to Yuma' and 'True Grit'."
Nice looking little engine. Still a wood burner, too.
Many thanks. According to the crew, built for the W.T. Carter and Brother Company, who also owned the Moscow, Camden and San Augustine RR.
