Title: Pennsylvania Railroad system locomotive rosters ID: 2386 Date: 1946 Physical Description: 0.6 Linear Feet Language of the English . Material: Abstract: The Joseph D. Lovell Locomotive Rosters constitute a partial roster of Pennsylvania Railroad steam, electric and early diesel locomotives to 1946. The collection also contains seven small ledgers listing the production of not only the Juniata Shops, but also the earlier Altoona Machine Shops (1866-1904) and locomotives purchased from outside builders, principally the Baldwin Locomotive Works. His lists include rosters for both the Pennsylvania Railroad proper and its predecessor lines. There is also a folder containing copies of letters and notes by Robert B. Watson documenting the provenance of the records. ^ Return to Table of Contents Biographical Joseph D. Lovell was a Schedule Foreman at the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's Juniata Shops at Altoona during the 1920s, 30s and 40s, by which point those shops were the company's sole facilities for constructing locomotives. Production at the Juniata Shops began in 1891 and ceased in 1946. Lovell had an interest in the history of steam locomotives and had access to the company's original locomotive records, which have long since become lost or scattered. He drew on these records to produce an all-time roster of Pennsylvania System locomotives to 1946, including the output not only of the Juniata Shops, but also the earlier Altoona Machine Shops (1866-1904) but also locomotives purchased from outside builders, principally the Baldwin Locomotive Works. His lists included rosters for both the Pennsylvania Railroad proper and its predecessor lines. ^ Return to Table of Contents - Page 3- Pennsylvania Railroad system locomotive rosters 2386 Scope and Content The Joseph D. Lovell Locomotive Rosters include copies of the original Binders No. 1 and 2, plus the seven volumes of rough notes and some miscellaneous papers. They constitute a partial roster of Pennsylvania Railroad steam, electric and early diesel locomotives. The binders give capsule histories of the various railroad companies represented, although these are not entirely accurate. Readers are referred to the more accurate information in the four-volume corporate history of Coverdale & Colpitts. Binder No. 1 includes rosters of certain predecessor and subsidiary lines east of Pittsburgh as follows: Northern Central Railway Co., Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad Co., West Jersey & Seashore Railroad Co., Western New York & Pennsylvania Railway Co., Allegheny Valley Railway Co., New York, Philadelphia & Norfolk Railroad Co., Pennsylvania & North Western Railroad Co., Cornwall & Lebanon Railroad Co., Cumberland Valley Railroad Co., Bellefonte & Snow Shore Railroad Co., Cresson, Clearfield County & New York Short Route Railroad Co., Pittsburgh, Virginia & Charleston Railway Co., Susquehanna, Bloomsburg & Berwick Railroad Co., Belvidere Delaware Railroad Co., Sunbury, Hazleton & Wilkes-Barre Railway Co., Frederick & Pennsylvania Line Railroad Co., Freehold & Jamesburg Agricultural Railroad Co., Lancaster & Quarryville Railroad Co., Youghiogheny Railroad, Bergner & Engel Brewing Co., Marion Railway Corp., and Harrisburg, Portsmouth, Mount Joy & Lancaster Railroad Co. It also contains rosters of the predecessors of the above-named companies and also of the state-owned Philadelphia & Columbia Railroad and Allegheny Portage Railroad, whose properties were purchased by the PRR in 1857. Note that certain important railroads, notably the Camden & Amboy Railroad & Transportation Company and the New Jersey Railroad & Transportation Company are missing from the list and were presumably covered in Binder No. 3, now missing. Binder No. 2 contains rosters for a portion of the Pennsylvania Lines West of Pittsburgh as follows: Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad Co., St. Louis, Vandalia & Terre Haute Railroad Co., Terre Haute & Logansport Railway Co., Terre Haute & Peoria Railroad Co., East St. Louis & Carondelet Railway Co., Logansport & Toledo Railway Co., Indianapolis & Vincennes Railroad Co., Vandalia Railroad Co., and Little Miami Railroad Co. Note again that the bulk of Lines West, including the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway Co. and the Pennsylvania Co., is missing and presumably contained in Binder No. 4. The Binders are followed by typed copy of the rosters of the Philadelphia & Columbia Railroad and the Allegheny Portage Railroad contained in Binder No. 1. The seven small ledgers list production in chronological order. Established facts are written in ink, while uncertain information is rendered in the form of penciled annotations. The first volume covers the production of the Altoona Machine Shop from 1866 to 1904. There are three volumes on the Juniata Shops. The first is a preliminary list in pencil, while the other two cover complete production from 1891 to 1946. There are likewise three volumes dealing with locomotives built at the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the PRR and associated railroads between 1834 and 1944. The data in these notebooks - Page 4- Pennsylvania Railroad system locomotive rosters 2386 was taken from official records in the Baldwin offices. The first volume is a preliminary pencil list, the second covers production from 1834 to 1902, and the third from 1903 to 1944. Post-1944 diesel production is not shown. The second volume contains a long note written by Paul T. Warner describing the Baldwin classification systems in use between 1842 and 1940. There is also a folder containing copies of letters and notes by Robert B. Watson documenting the provenance of the records. ^ Return to Table of Contents Arrangement Lovell's binders are arranged by locomotive number, with early locomotives that were not numbered preceding them in alphabetical order. Although the Pennsylvania Railroad system occasionally assigned a particular production run of locomotives a block of numbers in chronological order, it typically assigned numbers in a haphazard fashion to first fill any numbers that had been vacated by losses through wrecks or retirements. Lovell thus groups all locomotives that held a particular number over the years. In contrast, the ledgers show the output of the two Altoona shops and the Baldwin Locomotive Works in chronological order. ^ Return to Table of Contents Administrative Information Publication Statement Manuscripts and Archives PO Box 3630 Wilmington, Delaware 19807 [email protected] URL: http://www.hagley.org/library Provenance Lovell collaborated with a number of early rail enthusiasts, including three fellow PRR employees: Bruce B. Watson (d. 1958), an inspector in the Test Department; Allen O. Geertz (d. 1950), another inspector and fuel engineer; and William McKinley Keller (1901-1974), who rose to the position of Mechanical Engineer. He also corresponded with Paul T. Warner, an employee of the Baldwin Locomotive Works and the author of many historical articles for Baldwin. - Page 5- Pennsylvania Railroad system locomotive rosters 2386 Lovell's all-time roster was written in pencil in engineer's block lettering and bound in ten report binders as follows: No. 1 Locomotives of Subsidiary Lines – The PRR – East of Pittsburgh. No. 2 Locomotives of Subsidiary Lines – The PRR – West of Pittsburgh. No. 3 Locomotive Register – Lines East of Pittsburgh. No. 4 Locomotive Register – PCC&St.L – Lines West of Pittsburgh. No. 5 List of Locomotives Built at Altoona Machine Shop. No. 6 PRR Locomotives – Nos. 1-1000. No. 7 PRR Locomotives – Nos. 1001-2600. No. 8 PRR Locomotives – Nos. 2601-4999. No. 9 PRR Locomotives – Nos. 5000-6999. No. 10 PRR Locomotives – Nos. 7000-9000. Lovell turned over the binders to Al Geertz sometime shortly after their preparation in 1946, presumably with the understanding that Geertz and his other friends would keep them up to date. After Geertz's death in 1950, the binders passed

    BUILDERS OF COLORADO OFFICE OF ARCHEOLOGY AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH COLORADO HISTORICAL SOCIETY Firm: Baldwin Locomotive Works Location: Philadelphia (Eddystone, PA, in 1912) Operating Dates: 1831-1956 Principals: Matthias W. Baldwin Information Jeweler and silversmith Matthias Baldwin founded the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1831. The original manufacturing plant was on Broad Street in Philadelphia where the company did business for 71 years until moving in 1912 to Eddystone, PA. Baldwin made its reputation building steam locomotives for the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, and many of the other North American railroads, as well as for overseas railroads in England, France, India, Haiti and Egypt. Baldwin locomotives found their way onto the tracks of most Colorado railroads, both standard and narrow gauge. Baldwin built a huge number of 4-4-0 American type locomotives, but was perhaps best known for the 2-8-2 Mikado (D&RGW No. 491) and 2-8-0 Consolidation types (D&RGW No. 346 and DSP&P No. 191).1 It was also well known for the unique cab-forward 4-8-8-2 articulated locomotives built for the Southern Pacific Railroad and the massive 2-10-2 engines for the Santa Fe Railroad. One of Baldwin's last new and improved locomotive designs was the 4-8-4 (Northern) locomotive (Santa Fe No. 2911). In 1939, Baldwin offered its first standard line of diesel locomotives, all designed for rail yard service. Two years later, America's entry into World War II destroyed Baldwin's diesel development program when the War Production Board dictated that ALCO (American Locomotive Company) and Baldwin produce only diesel-electric yard switching engines.

Two prototypes were built, #5698 at the PRR's own Altoona Works, and #5699 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works. Although classified identically, the two locomotives differed in many aspects, as detailed below.
