LA / Travel Town – Heisler geared locomotive (# 110947)

One of what I’ve labeled the ‘short-haul’ locomotives, designed for jobs that required lots of flexibility, including ability to make tight turns and work on uneven, rough, tracks.

The graphic posted with these three adjacent pictures best explains and illustrates how what appears to be three pictures all work as one. Made by Heisler Locomotive in 1918, this was originally used to carry supplies for the construction of the Hetch Hetchy and when that was completed was sold to a lumber company, and then later donated by the lumber company to Travel Town in 1957.

Interestingly, I had taken a picture of a Heisler elsewhere in 2014 but had forgotten about it.
