Chuck Zeiler General Marty, nice photo, and my best guess is this is at the Eola roundhouse. Just ahead in the distance was the coaling tower, torn down a year or so before your photo. It would appear the 218 was NOT equipped with a steam generator, as there is only one filler at the fuel tank location. 1/22/2009 1:45:01 AM
Bob Campbell General Definitely Eola roundhouse 11/14/2015 9:14:41 PM
