Click on the image to get a larger size. James Bowie of New York photographed the 449 in Sanford in August, 1938, but differs with Richard E. Prince on the class of this locomotive. I believe that #449 was a class J. The photo is from David Bott collection. Note the A&Y lettered caboose. I thought I had a new cab photo, but when I enlarged the photo I was pretty certain that was 862 again (see the photo of 862 in a less pristine condition in the cab section of this website). |
