Info needed: Roster of Equipment

The Tavares, Eustis & Gulf locomotive builds need proper documentation: Serial number and build date for the #2 steamer, VINs and manufacture dates for the two General Electric 44-tons. Where are these data available, OrangeBlossomCannonball.com not having them on any subpage? - B. C. Schmerker (talk) 07:08, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, disposition of the equipment after the railroad ceased operations would be good to document. As the only operating steam locomotive in Florida at the time (there is now another in South Florida on the Sugar Express), I would imagine that locomotive #2 has to have either been sold to another railroad or put into storage somewhere ... but unfortunately I cannot find any information on its whereabouts. 97.102.30.205 (talk) 21:11, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Update: After spending an hour searching various online sources like railpictures.net for information on #2 and posting the above, I navigated over the Reader Railroad page, which says #2 is stored as serviceable in Reader, Arkansas. 97.102.30.205 (talk) 21:17, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
