Comments/Directions:
The Patterson-McInnis train locomotive 2-8-0 #3. Known locally as Three Spot, this iron horse often pulled 30 to 40 cars as it transported logs from area woodlands near Gulf Hammmock Florida to the Patterson-McInnis sawmill. Originally a wood burning engine and built around 1915, it was converted to steam during its service, which ended shortly after World War II. The locomotive was donated by the Paterson-McInnis lumber company in 1969 and is maintained by the Florida Department of Transportation. Watch out for the fenced, barbed wired display on the way-side all along the south-bound U.S. Hwy 19-98 in Levy County, on the west Gulf Coast of Florida. And if you?ve never encountered no see-ums, this is your opportunity.
