Bessie, Stephanie and Ida P

Three locomotives still live down on the sugar mill in southern Louisiana. Their time in sun has gone, but there's always hope that one day, they will work again. It could have been any of these that now work at Six Flags Over Texas. Who knows... one day. Maybe.

Wow what an awesome video. To bad about Billy. I would have loved to have met him. Hopefully one day these old Girls will get a second life. Perfect music for this.

Ida P. was almost restored to run at Cedar Point. She was leased in 1962 to the Cedar Point board of directors. There were differing ideas about building a railroad between them and then Cedar Point president George Roose, whose plans ultimately won. Not sure when Ida returned back to M.A. Patout.
