Hello Frisco Folks, Here are some photographs of Frisco engines 0-6-0 SLSF 3622, 3653, 3674, 3695, 3704, 3735, 3748, 3749, 3751 and Frisco and C&EI 25. Ship it on the Frisco! Enjoy, Rich
Locomotive 3749, picture in middle on bottom, is For Sale on "Ozark Mountain Railcar" for $35,000. Located in Florida. Brian Waller
Sorry to say this, but it is a Seaboard Air Line (SCL) locomotive. I was looking through photographs of it, and the side of the cab has a Seaboard Air Line logo, unless that was just painted on there.
Ethan The seaboard logo, cattle catcher and other items were added on the engine over time. It is a true Frisco engine. I wish I had $35,000 and a truck and crane I would fix her up to be a Frisco engine again. That is not really too bad a price on an engine. Too bad no one seems to have that or she would be sold. Ship it on the Frisco! Murphy Jenkins
It was one of the few Frisco steam locomotives to be in steam, albeit for a different owner, after the end of steam on the Frisco. http://www.frisco.org/vb/showthread.php?t=3728&highlight=3749
I was looking on Ozark Mountain Railcars site and I found this comment regarding 060 SLSF 3749. "The locomotive was reportedly used in a 1970 film featuring John Wayne, Henry Ford, and Charlton Heston called "Wings of Eagles". So this means the engine could have operated less that 40 years ago. Be awesome if she could still steam. Be a nice addition to any railroad museum. Ship it on the Frisco! Murphy Jenkins
I posted this back in August 1909, but there are not any takers yet. Frisco 3749 is for sale. http://www.ozarkmountainrailcar.com/...otive_3749.htm This is the location of where 0-6-0 SLSF 3749 is being sold. $35,000 for one of 2 remaining 0-6-0s of Frisco is a bargain. I am going to try to get some folks in Birmingham to get old 3749 here. Later on yall. Jason Ross Birmingham, AL
Murphy, Yes, this Frisco locomotive SLSF 3749 will be an nice addition to any railroad museum. I wish I has $35,000 to get it to add to my museum, "The ES&NA Historical and Restoration Society Railroad Museum", the name of my museum that is new, just getting started. This railroad Museum is located in Eureka Springs, AR, at Silver Wings Field Airport. Brian Waller
