A Ten-Wheeler in Winter Repose

It's minus 3 degrees Fahrenheit and snowing hard in Helena, the last day of November, 2014




If you listen carefully, you can hear the stack saying;
  "Restore me and run me to Great Falls"

And, several days later, a much wetter snow blows in to town.


Displayed at Beattie Park next to the old NP depot in Helena, Montana, is this very trim 4-6-0. Placed and dedicated in 1956 (see below,) the locomotive has been cosmetically restored by local volunteers in recent years.
