When in Coleman we passed by Flumerfelt Park and decided to turn around and have a look. This is a great roadside attraction.
World Largest Piggy Bank: Ten Ton Toots is a tiny 0-4-0 locomotive which spent its working life underground, hauling coal to the surface in a coal mine, quite likely that of the International Coal and Coke Company.
Transcribed from plaque:
This is Ten Ton Toots; known to miners as a "Dinky". From 1904 to 1954 Toots hauled five million tons of coal to daylight over 180,000 miles of underground tracks.
Toots is a 7x7x14 compound air locomotive, using compressed air at 800 pounds pressure to pull up 200 ton loads.
Toots invites your inspection and contributions.
