Hi All
I just saw this post on another website, The Valley Railroad, has acquired another Steam locomotive to add to the current Roster.
The Locomotive is Bonhomie & Hattiesburg RR # 300 a 2-8-2 type locomotive, which is now on display at the station at Hattiesburg, Mississippi .
This locomotive is the sister too Bonhomie & Hattiesburg # 250 currently displayed at the old Edaville, RR, track site at South Carver, Mass now known as Thomasland.

Wow, it will be interesting to keep an eye on that development!
As an aside, I recall seeing the 250 in operation at the Wolfeboro RR in New Hampshire

Here is an image of it...likely the early 1970s at Sanbornville
