Fairbank, Arizona, tied down for the evening, 1952. I think I was 11. Both my brother and I got to pull the throttle. Locomotive is preserved today in Tucson.

Fairbank had water, but no electricity. Went to grade school in Tombstone.

You weren't involved in that OK Coral mess were you?

Rented a horse from them.

The gaudy paint job was for the movie “Oklahoma!” If memory serves, underneath was SP M-4 #1645. The engineer was in his twenties, and commented that they could easily have had a locomotive with better lines. I agree.

Iron Horse?
