| This 0-6-0 was built by Lima in March 1924 as Texas & New Orleans 156; and although it had been renumbered 842 in 1953 to clear the 100-series for diesels, its original number was showing on the cab when this photo was taken. The loco had been sold to the Green Brothers in January 1956 for use in the sand and gravel operations on the north side of Lake Pontchartrain, and was last used at Jenkins before being moved and stored at Clifton. The loco is shown here on the north side of Franklinton, as the ICG (former GM&O) branch which had served Clifton was being torn up. It was subsequently placed on display at the Casey Jones Museum in Vaughn, Mississippi in 1984 and then moved to Terry, Mississippi in May 2005. |
