A Meter guage 0-8-0 steam locomotive from East Germany prepares for departure. The Hesston Steam Museum. Hesston Indiana USA. July 2007.

I took this photo on a July 2007 visit to the Hesston Steam Museum in northwest Indiana. A Meter Guage (U.S 2 Foot Guage) outside frame 1930's era 0-8-0 steam locomotive acquired from the nation formerly known as East Germany, builds up steam as it prepares to depart from the museum's open air Hesston Junction pavilion style depot.
