Re: [CBQ] Help finding the history of FW&D engine 31

[Kenneth Martin <kmartin537@surewest.net>]

  According to Wagners " THE COLORADO ROAD" FW&D engine #31 was a  
0-4-0 built in 1888 by Cooke and dismanteled in 1906. The book has a  
picture of it in 1890. #31 was the only 0-4-0 on the FW&D and was  
built to work in the Ft. Worth yards.
