SNAPSHOT: Former Texas Electric Railway Class C Locomotive 952 now Texas Transportation Company Locomotive No. 2. From wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Transportation_Company The Texas Transportation Company (reporting mark TXTC) was an electrified, Class III, short-line [1.1 mile line] railroad in San Antonio, Texas, that operated from 1897 until 2001. It served the Pearl Brewery and several other businesses, moving carloads between those businesses and the Southern Pacific yard. Service ended on June 30, 2000, shortly before the Pabst Brewing Company closed the Pearl Brewery, in early 2001. The two locomotives in use in the railroad's final years were again numbered 1 and 2. No. 2 was built in 1907 by the St. Louis Car Company, and TXTC acquired it in 1949 from the Texas Electric Railway. It was originally Texas Traction Company interurban car 4, becoming Texas Electric's No. 351 in 1917 and being rebuilt by TE in 1929 into a 35-ton locomotive [freight motor], numbered 952. Restored in 2006, the engine is now on static display at the Pearl Brewery in San Antonio, Texas. |
