Water towers probably aren't needed if you have a water main nearby.

I just saw a picture on Facebook showing LA&L steam loco 38 in Rochester on Aug 30, 1977.

If so, it would have been another steamer to pass through our area since the end of regular steam in addition to the Freedom Train in 1976.The 999 was displayed at the Atlantic Avenue engine house in Rochester in June 1953. I don't know whether it made a return visit in the 60's or not.
