mid 1930s H-5t

Beech Grove, Indiana
CCC&StL class " H-5t " 2-8-2 Mikado #6078
Roger Hensley Collection
The 6078 was renumbered in 36 to the 1578 and retired 6/54

Maybe photographed at an "open day" for railroad enthusiasts? A freight engine like an H5 probably wasn't this shiny-clean very often!

(B.t.w.: I usually don't comment on your posts because I don't have anything useful to contribute. But I always look at them, and I appreciate your efforts to show us interesting old photos-- Thank you, very much!)

Thank you!
