The Daily Express truck with the much anticipated load. The locomotive weighs in at 60 tons, so that means lots of pneumatic tires are needed, 38 in fact.
These photos are presented in roughly chronological order. Person and vehicle identifications are always in the order from left to right. All photos taken with a Canon Eos RebelXS camera with a Tamron 28-80mm lens. Film is Kodak Max 400. All photos in this section copyright 2003 by William Adams.

The locomotive rests in its new home, the vacated stall of EBT 3rd no. 6.
Though both ends are similar, this end has no grill and so is the back end.
Thus it rests (and presumably will be operating) in the customary direction,
pointing railroad north.
