Title:
Bonhomie & Hattiesburg Southern Steam
Description:
This photo illustrated the entire roster of the Bonhomie & Hattiesburg Southern on 5 July 1961. Prairie 250 (BLW 59239) was ready to go to work at the railroad’s yard in Hattiesburg, Mississippi while Mikado 300 (BLW 58241) was having its smokebox cleaned. This photo was taken on the day the railroad’s former master mechanic Grover Cleveland Logan was laid to rest. Mr. Logan had been responsible for keeping the B&HS in steam; but several months later, on 21 October the railroad bought a pair of former Wabash SW1’s, and after they arrived, steam was dead. The 250 was sold to the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern in Pennsylvania, while the 300 was placed on display next to the Southern Railway’s station in Hattiesburg.
