A Texas Steam Treasure

Visit the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and see the oldest steam locomotive in the USA in daily service, former Southern Pacific #2248, pulling the “Tarantula Train”.See 2248, built in 1896 between Grapvine and the Ft. Worth Stockyards, from lineside and in the locomotive cab. This was no amusement park ride, 2248 really gets up and goes! A nice look at this unique steam engine.
