The City is Knoxville, Tenn. The only picture they showed was from the inside
of the shed where they are rebuilding it and it was dark and showed no details
of the train... The story says they tried to use it in a quarry operation but it
wasn't powerful enough and was stored for 44 years... the story indicated they
think the engine has less than 100,000 miles.... If I get a chance to see it I
will let you know about the wheel config .
