Description

Photograph from the Billy Jones Family collection. No. 1500 was the only Overfair locomotive to see attempted operation on the Wildcat. While the Pacifics stood no chance on the line's tight curves, Jones was willing to re-gauge his entire railroad to test the tank engine. He hastily did so in about a week and fired up No. 1500 alone one night. The derailed engine was brought back to the shop the next day, and the railroad returned to 18 gauge. JON080
