IHC 34008 J.M. Bevinton L.S. & M.S. R.R 4-4-0 American Standard Locomotive

The Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway is deservedly famous. It's tracks, laid by several of its predecessor lines, were the first rail connection between New York City and Chicago and, from 1869 to 1914, the L.S. & M.S. R.R played a vital role in American westward expansion and became the crucial link to the burgeoning industrial and agricultural heartland. For generations after the Civil War, the L.S & M.S. was the best way West. Owned almost entirely by Cornelius Vanderbilt when it was absorbed by his New York Central Railroad in 1914, in 1904 the L.S & M.S. tracks saw the first running of the 20th Century Limited, perhaps America's most famous passenger train.

J.M Bevinton, who's name resides on the cab of this beautiful MRRHQ Collectible HO Scale IHC 34008 J.M. Bevinton L.S. & M.S.R.R 4-4-0 American Locomotive, is, apparently, not quite so famous. Who he was, why, or even if, he was actually honored with his name on the side of a grand locomotive remains a mystery. Still a great and beautiful model locomotive.
