The locomotives that plowed their way into the history books on April_12, 1862 today sit about 30 minutes from each other. The General, whose home is being recreated as the Southern History Museum, is in Kennesaw, and The Texas is housed in the Cyclorama in Atlanta (a href="http://roadsidegeorgia.com/city/atlanta01.html">History of Atlanta. For many years before the Cyclorama was built, the engine sat in Grant Park, exposed to the elements. That is the photo in the post card, probably. Every few years there is talk of getting these two old workhorses together, but it has not come to pass.
