#2 Laclede Christy - 1907
0-4-0T Four wheel switcher built by Davenport Locomotive Works, it is a coal burning, narrow gauge (30") saddle tank locomotive (it carried its water and fuel on the engine so it did not need a tender) that was used at the Laclede Christy Company in St. Louis to move car loads of clay to the plant. Donated in 1952 by the Laclede Christy Company.
