When Teddy Roosevelt went through Lima, Montana. His locomotive had been specially decorated by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fireman. What type of locomotive did they decorate?
And you thougth only Bush got one didn’t you. Now, if only Bush had been as good as Teddy.
I didn’t know Montana had a Lima.
Quentin-It’s on a Union Pacific line.

A 4-6-2 sounds like a passenger locomotive to me. That’s my guess.
Sounds reasonable; I’ll guess 4-6-2 also (I assume they had Pacifics at the very turn of the century??)
I’ll say a 4-6-0, seems a bit too early for Pacific types.
I think Dave may be right on this one: 4-6-0.
I’d go with the 4-6-0 as well
nanaimo…Thanks…I did some searching but couldn’t find any pic of the engine…Got him speaking from the back of the train, etc…but not the engine…Understand he even ask once…“Mr. engineer, do you allow passengers to ride with you”, or very close to that and of coure the engineer accepted him up in the cab and he did ride in the engine for a given distance…Can one imagine such action of a sitting President now…The Secret Service personal would have a bird…[:0]
…I will take a guess and say a: 4-6-0…Simply because it was about a hundred years ago…
Can I change my vote to 4-6-0?
A 4-6-0 tenwheeler. Fell free to post any pictures if you can find any, I only know of one and it was in a book.
