Port Huron: Marysville's Detroit Edison No. 203

My friend and I took a day trip out to the Port Huron area on a photo hunting mission. We came back with some excellent shots from what was an unbelievable February Saturday.

This first photo was an instant post from the camera phone of our first stop -- the Detroit Edison No. 203 steam locomotive (0-6-0) on static display at the Marysville Historical Museum.

"THE"
There was something about the word "THE" on the tender with the deep blue sky and shadows from the trees I found attractive.

With the jacketing removed from the locomotive all these staybolt caps were exposed. It reminded me of a field of metal mushrooms.

Larry was particularly interested in this double handle assembly on the locomotive tender.

For the final image in this series I present you with the smokebox of the locomotive.

There were a couple of other choice photos from this series that I would like to have posted here as well, but alas the Flickr account is maxxed out for the month so they will have to wait.
