    Hi All:

    Here's one from my collection of Ten Wheeler's 512 and 513 being used in helper service taken in Winslow, Arkansas in 1908.

    I took delivery of this cabinet card photograph yesterday. Nice image of ten wheeler 442. Noted on the back is "Fort Worth, 1908". The turntable appears to be of the "armstrong" variety. According to my copy of "Frisco's Description of Locomotives", George Hancock, Gen'l Sup't Motive Power, 442 was built by Baldwin in 1893 and was originally built for the St.L.&S.F. Builders number 13331. The locomotive was originally numbered 192 and renumbered shortly after aquisition of the Memphis. Noted in the remarks is the locomotive has "electric lights and "steam heat". I believe Frisco had access to Fort Worth in 1908 after trackage rights were obtained from the Rock Island from Irving. Thanks to Don Wirth for sharping up the image. Jeff Cooney, Lindsay, TX

    Very nice, Jeff.

    It is noteworthy that she is an oil-burner which lends credence to the notion that the location might be Ft Worth. This is the oldest image that I've seen of a Frisco oil burner.

    The 442 was retired March 1928.

    According to my records the 442 was previously numbered 192. Shot of the 192, noted on back, as Springfield, 1895. Smokebox door appears to have been changed out between this shot and the one taken in 1908. Jeff Cooney, Lindsay, TX

    The eagle on the sand dome lid is a nice detail.

    Scale Structures Ltd, and DebenLLC both have HO Scale Eagles with wings spread that would work on an engine sand dome if anyone is curious to model it. Ah, maybe someone like me? LOL...

    Is the boiler jacket of 192 plated in German Silver?

    Grabbed from Facebook. Texas Railroad History Group.

    The crew members of Frisco's StLB&M 480 stand with her in Kingsville on a foggy morning, ca 1915.

    The tallest man is Floyd Rees, the engineer. This picture is from a family collection and the other men are unidentified, although it's obvious the fireman is at the end on the right.

    Oil burner?

    Looks like 480 is sporting one of the Hancock-style number plate on its nose. Nice one, Robert.

    I can't really speak to the accuracy of the 480 caption. The cab appears to have a FRISCO herald and a subscript. Appears to be an oil burner, but I don't know enough to say if there is more than one 480 among subsidiaries, or if this is a ten-wheeler. A neat picture, though.

    Frisco No. 193 4-6-0 Ten Wheeler built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1893. It would later become Frisco No. 443.

    Retired Nov 1936. Look at that length of that firebox, 9’-5.9375”, which is starting to push the limits of a "hand bomber”.

    Fascinating that it has a Vanderbilt type tender.

    I noticed #815 in the foreground of the photo linked above. My Grandfather has engine # 815 in his log book as a fireman in 1917. He also listed 15 different ten wheeler engine numbers, several in the same class as the photos above, but none of those exact numbers. Thanks for posting the links and photos.
