Pictures of 'IN2TRAVEL in Istanbul' article on IN2TRAVEL.
Intro:
It might be cliché to say, it is true: Istanbul is the link between East and West. Located on two sides of the Bosperus river, the border between Europe and Asia. It's also a mix of old and new, colorful culture and hospitality which can't be matched. IN2TRAVEL in Istanbul

Forgot to upload these pics, and just remembered. I couldn't get a good shot of 610.

built as: Texas & Pacific #316
to Paris & Mt. Pleasant RR (T&P), 1949
donated to City of Abilene, Oscar Rose Park #75; 1951
to Texas State Railroad #201; 1974
re# T&P 316; 11/2012
oos: 2013
316 was built for freight service with the T&P. 316 is the oldest locomotive in the TSR collection and is also the only operable surviving T&P locomotive as of today.
In 1949, the T&P sold 316 to the Paris & Mt. Pleasant Railroad, a T&P subsidiary. With the help of an anonymous female benefactor, in 1951, the T&P then donated 316 to the City of Abilene.
316 was displayed in the Oscar Rose Park for many years, wearing the number 75 to symbolize the 75th Jubilee Celebration of the City. In 1974, 316 was donated to the Texas State Railroad where it was restored to operating condition and renumbered as TSRR 201 to pull tourist excursion trains. It remained like that until November 3, 2012 when she was repainted back to T&P 316 for her 111th birthday.
316 operated more excursions from 2012 until it was taken out of service at the end of 2013 operating season due to boiler and firebox issues. In 2020, 316 was placed on temporary static display at the newly-constructed Hall of Giants display site along the Palestine Wye in Palestine, TX alongside T&P 610 and AT&SF 1316.
Once the TSRR finishes the overhaul of Southern Pine Lumber Company No. 28, they will restore 316, and eventually AT&SF 1316 afterwards, back to operation again in the not-too-distant future.

Santa Fe No. 1316 is a 1309 class 4-6-2 "Pacific" type steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in December 1911 for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway (AT&SF). 1316 is one of twenty-eight of the class 1309 series locomotives. They were originally built as four-cylinder compound locomotives with two internal and two external cylinders, but it plagued them with mechanical issues and design flaws, most notably, not being powerful and fast as the AT&SF expected them to be. As a result of this, the AT&SF rebuilt some of them to conventional two-cylinder locomotives, with 1316 being the first one to be rebuilt.
1316 was initially used for fast passenger service by the AT&SF, but later downgraded to secondary passenger service in favor of larger 4-6-4 "Hudson" and 4-8-4 "Northern" type locomotives.
1316 was converted from coal to oil fired in the 1930s and later downgraded again to freight service on mostly shortlines; when diesels took over passenger service in the 1940s.
1316 was later retired from the AT&SF in October 1954 and immediately donated to the Fort Concho Museum in San Angelo, TX, becoming the sole surviving 1309 class locomotive by the end of the decade.
1316 sat on static display at the Fort Concho Museum until it was sold to the Texas State Railroad between Palestine and Rusk, TX in 1980. Two years later, in 1982, 1316 was restored to operating condition where it was painted in a sharp green paint scheme and renumbered to TSRR 500.
Following the restoration, 500 was used on daily tourist excursion trains between Palestine and Rusk alongside running mates Tremont & Gulf No. 30 (renumbered to TSRR 400), Southern Pine Lumber Company No. 28 (renumbered to TSRR 300), Texas & Pacific No. 316 (renumbered to TSRR 201), Southern Pacific No. 2248 (renumbered to TSRR 200), and the TSRR's diesels.
500 was later taken out of service for a Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) mandated overhaul at the end of the 2002 operating season since the FRA had imposed the infamous 1,472-day boiler inspection for every operational steam locomotive in the United States in response to the Gettysburg Railroad No. 1278 boiler explosion that happened on June 16, 1995.
However, upon being disassembled, the TSRR discovered that the locomotive's boiler was in a horrid condition, following more than two and a half decades of running. The State of Texas offered the TSRR funding to build 500 a new boiler that's designed to power plant standards, but unfortunately, the TSRR didn't have enough funding nor time to build 500 a new boiler while also maintaining their other operable steamers at the time. As a result of this, 500's mandated overhaul was tragically cancelled.
500 was eventually reassembled and cosmetically restored back to AT&SF 1316 in 2020 and currently sits on static display at the newly-constructed Hall of Giants display site along the Palestine Wye in Palestine, TX alongside T&P 316 and 610. But once the TSRR finishes the overhaul of 316, they will eventually restore 1316 back to operation again in the not-too-distant future.
As of 2023, No. 1316 has been put back together during a cosmetic restoration and it is awaiting the necessary overhaul required to operate it again.
