NF-110 #906
Title:  NF-110 #906
Description:  Built in 1953, she's the only nf-110 built that year. The custodians at the Railway museum were very pleased when I told them that she was the last engine in the consist that pulled the last passenger train across the island in 1969. She will be moved from here in Bowring Park to the Railway museum a few blocks from here. Locals say it would be much better, as the vandals wouldn't have such a heyday with it.
