FLWB&S No. 208
Built in August of 1912
Locomotive 208 is a 2-6-0 mogul type steam locomotive, it was originally built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in August of 1912 for the Missouri & Louisiana Railroad with the road number of 114. The locomotive was used to haul timber from the sawmill in Neame Missouri. After the sawmill burned down in 1925, the locomotive was moved to Conroe Texas where it would again be hauling timber, but now for the Delta Land & Timber Co. While with the DL&T the locomotive would be re-numbered to 208 which would remain the locomotive’s permanent number. Locomotive 208 would eventually end up serving on the Angelina & Neches River Railroad in Kelty’s, Texas which is where the locomotive spent the majority of its career. After 208 was retired by the Angelina & Neches River Railroad it was purchased by railfans of the Trinity Valley Railway Historical Association. 208 was moved to French Lick in 1986 where it would begin its new life as a museum locomotive pulling passenger trains on the French Lick, West Baden & Southern Railway operated by the Indiana Railway Museum.
