I don't know the significance of this particular locomotive installed at the park. Some day I'll read the sign in front of it!

Andy Rodker, Ernest CH, have particularly liked this photo

Please do.

We had one similar in Florida, but never took a photo of it. Will have to ask Dick M if he would swing by and take one.
It also had a sign ..

My guess is that it had something to do with the early logging industry, which started here in the late 19th C.
