2-8-0 Steamer Part 1
While reading Steel Mill Railroads in Color Vol. 2 I came across a couple pictures of Northwestern Steel & Wire company's (NWS&W) 0-8-0 steam locomotive. I know steam locomotives are nothing new in a steel mill but what caught my attention was this locomotive was still in use on a daily bases in 1979. With my mill set between the 70s and 80s, I figured I would model one for my steel mill.
