"Built for the Southern Pacific in 1896, by the Cooke Locomotive Works in Patterson NJ (before Cooke became part of Alco)
She is often said to be "the Oldest steam locomotive in regular service in the USA"
although the "William Mason" at the B&O museum is older, and operable, but doesn't steam on a regular basis..
so its a grey area..but still, 2248 is quite the survivor!

Big Bird? Man to be dressed up like that in this heat. The temps were only in the low 90's but the humidity was high. This guy kept on going.
One of the two cool watch towers in Grapevine.
Val hitting the mister, with a little girl that could charm a snake.
A touch of history.
Big bird returns only with a friend.
