The Standard Gravel Company used a number of
steamers up through the 1960s. Here are a couple tired old
ex-T&NO (SP) 0-6-0 switchers still in service at the pit near
Franklinton, Louisiana in 1965. Engine #124 on the left has
finished its work for the morning and rests patiently while the crew
goes to lunch. If you look closely, you'll notice the tender
tank is upside down. The tender was leaking badly and some
enterprising soul solved the problem by inverting the tank,
modifying it as necessary. The engine #156 on the right has
one of the unusual "sausage" tenders that the SP used.
