| A work train is pushed/pulled through Union Station by a Z1b 2-6-6-2. Three employees ride a Jordan Model 2-180 flanger with wings. It has pneumaticly operated "wings" on either side that are extended for ditching and ballast grooming (or snow removal), and an underside mounted flanger for clearing between the rails. By this time the Z class 2-6-6-2s were relegated to work train duty and local work. Best that can be told from this angle, this is a Z1b, but any help in making an absolute ID would be appreciated. |
