I'll get the book out and scan it when I get home today, but I have a book from the 1960's that someone compiled vintage photos of older steam passenger service, and there's a nice period shot of the Tweetsie #12 pulling the passenger cars.

What's amazing is it looks like the Bachmann set frozen in the past!

I'll post it tonight!
