Contrary to populair belief, not every single photograph shown at "Eddie's Railfan Page" was taken by "Me", I occasionally show photographs that family or friends have taken on occasion. Seen here being serviced between runs, is a narrow guage 0-4-0 steam locomotive used on the Rock River Cannonball train at Edgarton Wisconsin. My Brother in Law "Ralph" was very kind by taking these photographs for Me while visiting his family in Wisconsin on Labor Day Weekend 2006. Although cosmetically "Americanized" to look like a westerm movie locomotive, This locomotive can't entirely hide it's European Meter Guage look. Locomotives like this were built in Germany, and used in Industrial applications such as Mines -Factories -Steel Mills -and Quarrys. Engines like this were used for Mining operations in Mexico. Today, they are pulling passenger tourist coaches and not Industrial Dumping Cars.
