HANK WILLIAMS & his father LON WILLIAMS

Is this the actual Train that legendary country music star Hank Williams wrote and sang about?  Royce G. Kershaw Jr thought so.  You be the judge!

THE HANK WILLIAMS CONNECTION... On December 3rd, 1952, Hank Williams Senior recorded the last song he wrote at KWKH studio called "The Old Log Train".  This folk song is a biological account of his late father Lon Williams as a train engineer in the 1920's & 1930's in Chapman, Alabama.  Hank performed the song at a private gathering over Christmas in 1952, a week before his death.  Lon Williams worked for the W.T. Smith Lumber Company as a train conductor on a 1913 Baldwin 2-6-0 Mogul steam locomotive, hauling logs to the lumber yards.  W.T. Smith owned 2 class 7 Baldwin locomotives.  #8 was scrapped in 1948.  #7 was saved.  THIS IS THE #7 LOCOMOTIVE.
