Here were a couple of anonymous old Alcos that were parked near Beaumont, Texas. The RS1 was built as Lake Superior & Ishpeming 1001 (79576), then it went to George Silcott, L.B. Foster and then the Sabine River & Northern where it was renumbered 101. The S4 was built as New York Central (Pittsburg & Lake Erie) 8638 (80644) and it too went to George Silcott, L.B. Foster and the SR&N. Both of the locos subsequently went to Houston Chemical Co. at Beaumont. |
