If anyone knows where Thomas restaurant is in Pryor....

Back in the late 80's and early 90's, Thomas was the go-to place for chicken fried steak.

Hearing that whistle always gives me goosebumps!
I’m always mesmerized by just how silky smooth that engine runs, no matter how slow it’s going.

Thanks for sharing these. I noticed the build plate above says 'November 1941'. A month before Pearl Harbor.
The rest of the world was desperate for steel for tanks and ships and vehicles and guns, but the USA was like 'Screw it, let's build a huge ass loco.'

I didn't realize you posted another locomotive in the "big boy" thread. A little misleading for someone quickly viewing only the pictures.
