  • The Odyssey of Five Locomotives: 1835-1965 Benjamin F
    The Odyssey of Five Locomotives: 1835-1965 Benjamin F. G. Kline, Jr. On October 21, 1864, this item appeared in the Lancaster newspaper: "The locomotive works, operated by J. A. Norris, has been contracted for delivery of five locomotives to the Western Pacific Railroad in California." Let us examine this for more detail. First, the Western Pacific Rail- road — chartered December 13, 1862 — in November 1869, was consoli- dated with the San Francisco Bay Railroad, which was chartered Septem- ber 25, 1868. Following this consolidation, it retained the name of the Western Pacific Railroad until June 23, 1870, when it was in turn consol- idated with the Central Pacific Railroad of California. The consolidated line became a part of the Central Pacific Railroad of California. The Western Pacific Railroad and the San Francisco Bay Railroad linked Sacramento with Oakland and the San Francisco area. This provided the Central Pacific with a connection to the San Francisco area. The original Western Pacific was a line 123.45 miles in length; the consolidation with the San Francisco Bay Railroad Company added about 22.5 miles to this, giving the consolidated Western Pacific Railroad a total mileage of approximately 146 miles. A sheet issued November 6, 1868 listed all Central Pacific motive power with their specifications. Also listed separately were the ten locomo- tives which were received from the Western Pacific Railroad. The first five are of no interest to us because they were Baldwin and Mason pro- ducts. The remaining five were listed as being built by Norris of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Second, let us look at the builder.

  • THE READING TODAY - 1942 Huge, Short-Haul Coal Drags Keep This System’S Wheels Rolling
    1935 - 2016 VOLUME 47 NUMBER 8 D ISTRICT 2 - CHAPTER WEBSITE : WWW .NRHS 1. ORG AUGUST 2016 THE READING TODAY - 1942 Huge, Short-Haul Coal Drags Keep This System’s Wheels Rolling BY BERT PENNYPACKER - COURTESY OF CHAPTER FRIEND PAUL KUTTA Fast passenger trains may be exciting, but it’s freight that brings home the bacon - over 90% of it for Reading Company. More revenue is received from transporting freight of types other than coal, but the “black diamond” traffic provides reliable and steady income that keeps the road on its feet financially. Importance of Reading as a coal-carrier may be shown by the fact that nearly half of its freight cars are coal hoppers (15,500 hoppers out of a total of 32,500 freight cars). Practically all anthracite (hard) coal transported originates on Reading lines. What’s more, the system hauls over POWER PLUS ! NO. 2017 SOUTHBOUND FROM ST. CLAIR YARDS AT PORT CARBON , PA., 80% as much bituminous (soft) coal as anthracite, . WITH A HEAVY COAL DRAG although little originates in its territory. This traffic is obtained principally from the Western Maryland and Pennsylvania railroads at Harrisburg, and New York Central at Newberry Junction. Black diamonds, which are of inestimable value to the railroad today, almost ruined the system years ago. Between 1869 and 1881, the Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Company (P&RC&I), an associated coal organization, bought many thousands of acres of anthracite coal lands in Pennsylvania. This imposed a tremendous financial burden on the then Philadelphia & Reading Railway, and threw it into receivership several times.

  • A History of the Strasburg Rail Road, 1832-1862 by Lester James Kiscaden
    A History of the Strasburg Rail Road, 1832-1862 by Lester James Kiscaden PREFACE This paper emerged out of a curiosity to investigate the origin of the Strasburg Rail Road. A life-long resident of Strasburg and interested in its past as well as its future, I felt compelled to investigate the first thirty years of the railroad's existence in order to clarify the misconceptions and myths that have emerged about that era of the road's history. Research has been conducted at the following locations: Har- risburg, Pennsylvania: The William Penn Memorial Museum, The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (Archives Build- ing) , The State Library (Law Library and Periodical Complex), and The Corporation Bureau; Lancaster, Pennsylvania: Lancaster County Historical Society, Frackenthal Library (Franklin and Mar- shall College), Lancaster County Court House (Prothonotary Office), and the Lancaster County Free Public Library; West Chester, Penn. sylvania: Chester County Court House (Law Library) , Francis Har- vey Green Library (West Chester State College) , and Chester Coun- ty Historical Society; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: The Historical So- ciety of Pennsylvania; Millersville, Pennsylvania: Helen Ganser Li- brary (Millersville State College), and Strasburg, Pennsylvania; Strasburg Borough Office, First National Bank of Strasburg, and the Strasburg Rail Road Administrative Office. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS To undertake a project of this nature one needs the cooperation and assistance of many individuals which I wish to acknowledge. I am deeply appreciative for the guidance of my advisor, Mr. Harold E. Shaffer. The following librarians were of invaluable as- sistance in helping my research: Miss Martha Simonetti, Associate Archivist, Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission; Mrs.

  • Deadly Crossing by Mark J
    1935 - 2013 VOLUME 44 NUMBER 4 DISTRICT 2 - CHAPTER WEBSITE: WWW.NRHS1.ORG APRIL 2013 DEADLY CROSSING BY MARK J. PRICE - AKRON BEACON JOURNAL STAFF WRITER Precious seconds ticked away as the Ohio National Guard convoy rumbled through the streets of Barberton (Ohio). Time was the enemy. Unexpected delays and unfortunate circumstances put the armored military vehicles on a collision course with disaster. When the locomotive's horn shrieked, it already was too late. An Erie Railroad passenger train slammed into a 33-ton Army tank on April 29, 1951, in a tragic accident that caught everyone by surprise. ''It sounded like the whole end of Barberton was blowing up when the train hit the tank,'' eyewitness Earl Lybarger told the Beacon Journal after the crash. ''My wife fainted when she saw the locomotive would not miss the tank.'' If only a few things had gone right, it would have been just another Sunday afternoon. More than 60 members from Company B of the 137th Tank Battalion in Barberton took a four-hour slog to Greensburg and back. In a pelting rain, a Summit County sheriff's cruiser led a ''motor march'' of National Guard trucks, jeeps and tanks to a practice field at state routes 241 and 619. The reserve unit conducted maneuvers before beginning the return trip to Barberton. Near the AN OHIO NATIONAL GUARD TANK SITS ASTRIDE TWISTED RAILS AFTER BEING STRUCK BY AN ERIE city limits, the convoy sputtered. One of its three Sherman tanks ran out of gas RAILROAD PASSENGER TRAIN ON APRIL 29, 1951, AT THE FAIRVIEW AVENUE CROSSING IN because of a faulty fuel gauge.

  • Danbury Departures
    Danbury Departures Volume No. 26 March 2003 B&M 1455 at Edaville By Bob Boothe Project Coordinator In the process of researching the history of the Boston & Maine 1455 I’ve come across some interesting early photos and postcards which raise questions about what happened to the engine while at Edaville. Our research at the DRM shows that the locomotive which was initially number “100” when built in 1907 was renumbered in 1911 to “1455” and remained with that number while in service with the Boston & Maine. The caption on this postcard with the photo by Hugh Poisson said “The famous 1455 steam train: original road number 100 Built 1907 Donated to Edaville by Patrick McGinnis President of the Boston and Maine”. Note among other things that the headlight is on top of the smoke box which itself along with the smokestack has been painted “graphite/aluminum gray”. One wonders if these “retro-numbering” changes were done before or after arriving at Edaville. Note also the tender has “Boston & Maine” on a single line “Boston & Maine” with no “herald box”. Now here’s a different photo taken by Dick Leonhardt in 1978. The engine has been “updated” to again be “1455” with the headlight back in the center of front access door with the number board on the top of the now black smoke box. The tender now has “Boston & Maine” in a herald box. Any information museum members, friends or others might have to share with us about these or other events in the life of 1455 would be most welcome.
