Great Western 90

Great Western 90 is a preserved 12-42-F class 2-10-0 "Decapod" type steam locomotive, built in June 1924 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works (BLW), No. 90 originally pulled sugar beet trains for the Great Western Railway of Colorado (GWR), and it was the largest of the company's roster. On April 5, 1967, No. 90 was purchased by the Strasburg Rail Road (SRC) east of Strasburg, Pennsylvania, who needed a more powerful steam engine to pull the ever-increasing tourist trains through the Lancaster County countryside.
