Illinois Central No. 268 is an 0-6-0 steam locomotive built in June 1914 by Alco for the Illinois Central Railroad.
It spent most of its life as a switch engine on the I.C., and was sold to Masonite Corp. in 1953 for further use.
It is now on display at Daphne Park, in Laurel, Mississippi.
Trivia[]
- Although, as of 2020, the city finally managed to have a shelter built for it, the deterioration 268 had suffered until then was so extensive that gaping holes can be seen on the smokebox front end, rust everywhere, all over the engine and tender.
