Beet Hauling

Trailing a trainload of sugar beets, Great Western 2-10-0 90 rolls along at the end of November in 1958. Built by Baldwin in 1924, the Decapod still had several working years left with the GWR, operating into the early 1960s. By 1967, 90 was in storage and was then sold to the Strasburg Rail Road. 90 has since operated on and off on the famous Pennsylvania line, and recently reentered service following its most recent overhaul.
