A Dallas fire marshal told me about abandoned locamotive and tank car somewhere near Jackson and Feild streets underground in a sealedup tunnel.

If it was sealed up, how’d he know about it?

It’s a specially designed steam engine that operated underground. Often referred to as a thermos bottle, the engine did not produce an outpouring of steam in the tunnels under downtown Dallas.

That's an interesting story.

Rail fans in Dallas have blogged that the old hot-water bottle locomotive is still there, walled-up inside the abandoned tunnels, a relic of the lines’ abandonment.
