More family vacation photos - this time I'm looking for identification.

My family went to Steamtown in Vermont in 1978. First, I'll tempt you with the shot of the active locomotive that day.


Not so strangely, locomotives were placed on display around the turntable. There were also locomotive placed on display so that they were 90 degrees to the main line, facing it. Here's the turntable shot.

If anyone knows what's what, I'm happy to hear it.

Here's a narrow gauge engine, pretty sure that Nelson Blount bought from overseas (I want to say Ireland), but would like some further identification:


And does anyone have any information on this steam tractor?


Thanks for all your help!

thanks for sharing

The green narrow-gauge 2-6-2T:
Former Cavan & Leitrim, ex-Great Southern Railway, nee-Tralee & Dingle 2-6-2T No. 5, which was brought over in 1959 to go to Edaville. Instead, it went to the Steamtown collection in 1961. It remained part of the Steamtown collection until 1986. In that year, it was purchased from the Steamtown Foundation and repatriated to Ireland by the Great Southern Railway Preservation Society, Ltd. It operated for a time on a restored section of the T&D between Tralee and Blennerville. However, that heritage line is currently not operational, and No. 5 sits unused on the Tralee & Blennerville Railway. It has not worked for some years now.

Hi
If I am looking at the right information in my Guide to the Steamtown collection, the Tractor is a J.I Case 7 ton steam traction engine, signal cylinder tractor, they were used in many parts of America for farm plowing.
But in Vermont and New Hampshire, they were mainly used to power sawmills.
According to other information, this was one of the items that when up for Auction in the Steamtown Collection in 1988 after the move to Scranton, Pa.
Where it is today, is anybody's guess?

At the time, Steamtown was in Bellows Falls, correct?

Here's three more for your viewing pleasure.

The French merci boxcar. Was this Vermont's or another state's?


Here's the lineup by the mainline that I mentioned.


Lastly, CP 1246 prepping for departure.


Thank you Pat and ADM4 for your information.

We took our family vacation in New England in 1977 and stopped by Steamtown as well as Edaville. 1293 was the engine that was hot when we visited and we rode the excursion up to Chester (I think that was the turn-around point).
