Holiday Fun in the Family E-Type!

Lafrance Train 1

Speaking of engine #98… Check this out! I just had my father send me these photos – this is a shot of the 1923 American LaFrance speedster parked alongside the track at a crossing. In this shot, the train DWARFS the LaFrance (as we called it..), and makes the car look small – let me assure you, it wasn’t! It was HUGE – easily 3-4 times the size of a Model T speedster! For example, 2 men couldn’t lift one of those tires and wheels… This was taken to look like an antique photo, but this is the Summer of 1992 – I remember the day very well…
