Another town, another engine.
Like many areas we have visited, Livingston, TX’s economy was largely influenced by timber. The W. T. Carter & Bro. Engine #5 is a coal burning steam engine which signifies the importance of the timber industry established in Polk County over 150 years ago and continues to be of importance today. The engine was built in 1911 by Philadelphia’s Baldwin Locomotive Works and was in operation until 1952.
