Yesterday I decided to pay a visit to an old friend. I was traveling north out of Pineville to Colfax so I decided to stop off at the Tioga Heritage Museum and check on ex Illinois Central locomotive 333. Somewhere in my heart I had hoped that someone may have come by and cleared all the weeds from around the old locomotive but alas I found the site in the exact same condition as it was four months ago when I last stopped by.
I have written a lot about this once proud locomotive and how it was once one of Louisiana's prominent attractions when it was displayed across from the old capitol building in Baton Rouge. I could go on and on here about my disgust on how this piece of history has been forgotten and neglected. Instead of breaking out in prose I will just let the photo speak for itself.
