The Little Giants: Forney Locomotives

These little engines often get overlooked because of their more famous and well-known cousins, the American 4-4-0, or even the Big Boy. But Forneys were amazing little puffers, that really changed the way a locomotive could be engineered and were often the locomotive of choice for municipal transit and narrow gauge short lines! This is all about the Forney Locomotive!
