    Looks like the stack is capped for what I’d guess would be storage. I guess that older motive power in the mid-1930s could have been awaiting the scrapper’s torch, but I don’t believe they did any scrapping in Chaffee.

    As noted by Collias in “Frisco Power,” these older ten-wheelers seemed to congregate at Chaffee, where they’d be dusted off and fired up the spring strawberry harvest in Southeast Missouri, and then would be put back in storage as needed.
