Title:  SWPX 0-4-0T #11 - Southwestern Portland Cement Co
Description:  Holiday decorated Southwestern Portland Cement Co 0-4-0T #11 switcher that stood outside the plant. The color slide was so badly deteriorated that I had to flip it to b&w.

Specs - serial #3492, 42" driver, engine weight of 102,000 tractive effort of 23,550 lb. An unknown photographer took the color slide.
