Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad Texas Type 2-10-4 643 is one of those locomotives... well you know.
I have not seen the locomotive in person and I can't bring myself to make the trip down there. Perhaps
we will get to meet someday. 643 never should have left Greenville and should have gone to Riverside Park.
So that being said let's see some photos of "The King."
I'll throw the first pitch.
I do have a copy of the B&LE blueprint/chart so if I win the lottery or make tens of millions of dollars. I could always just built two of these war horses.
