Current, Continuing Project

Help preserve this authentic, 1881, logging locomotive located on the grounds of the Pioneer Museum of Alabama in Troy. The train was donated to the museum by Earl M. McGowin in 1992 for permanent
display. Elonzo Huble Williams, (Hank Williams Sr.’s father) was an engineer on this train for the W. T. Smith Lumber Company in Chapman, Alabama.

Number 14 needs cleaning up, repairing, and painting to help preserve her and we need your help. Please consider donating to this fundraiser to support restoring the train.

Mail a check with the notation “Train Fundraiser 2023” to the Pioneer-Museum of Alabama, 248 US Hwy 231 N, Troy, AL, 36081 or better yet, come tour the museum and bring a contribution with you.
