Galoots,

I rode in this one with my father a few times in either the late 1930s 
or early 1940s.  It was used to pull gondola cars of gravel from the TCM 
(Texas Construction Materials Co.) gravel pits in south Texas to the 
main railroad lines. I thought it was fun in those days - probably still 
would.
