An old photograph of a narrow gauge steam engine, working at the open hearth furnaces, Lukens purchased two HK Porters in 1902. | |

Endless searching through contacts at Lukens Steel Company and elsewhere, a 1911 HK Porter 0-4-0-T was located in Decatur AL and purchased. It had run for the Florida Paint and Turpentine Company located operating in Alabama. | |

The Engine arriving at the office, all the parts are under tarps. Roof, cab, sand, domes, etc.
