A young Don Morice photographed this 1902 Rogers built 2-8-0 Consolidation #719 sitting in the scrap line in Paducah, KY. In 1920, the entire 651 class was modified and rebuilt by the IC Paducah shops. So after over 50 years of service, it was relegated to the scrap line here along with IC 2-10-2 #2711. #2711 was an IC shops rebuild of a 1921 Lima 2-10-2 #2911. No exact day in August of 1957 was given for the negative. |
