Fred according to ,and this is just for the sake of discussion,"Hedtke says that,The old #14666 150 HP Case Steam engine sat abandoned at the Sator mine site until 1918.when a junkman broke it apart for world war 1 salvage, All the fittings,castings,parts,wheels,etc were gone;but the boiler clearly marked with #14666 cast in brass on the smoke box side remained." In other words ,any thing removalable was removed for salvage.it is clear from your photo that the boiler has been extensively refurbished and I doubt the stack or steam dome are original as they could have been easily removed when every thing else was salvaged in 1918. I don't suppose we will ever know and it is gratifying that at least a part of the old girl is still around.If the above photo is not #14666,I wonder just what the wagons contain? If not bagged copper ore would sacks of grain be out of the equation? If grain then I doubt as you if the posted photo is #14666.Regardless I enjoy hunting down stories such as this and I appreciate your photo so at least some one knows of what I post.
