Pennsylvania Steam Locomotive No. 5244

ID # 1,087

PENNSYLVANIA NO. 5244

No. 5244, an 0 5-0 switcher, built in 1916 at the Pennsylvania Railroad's famous Juniata shop in Altoona, Pennsylvania, was the last of nearly 130 years of Pennsy steam engines to remain in service, in her old age she was leased to the Union Transportation Co., an 18.87-mile freight line serving the Fort Dix, New Jersey area. A framed enlargement of this photograph, showing her on a Union Transportation trestle, is hung outside the office of the PRR president in Philadelphia, together with her red-and-gold, keystone-shaped number plate, as a  sentimental remembrance of the Steam Age. The Pennsylvania Railroad did more than any other system in the world to develop the steam locomotive. Even after the PRR itself had been completely dieselized, No. 5244 continued to pull trains; but the extreme difficulty of repairing steam locomotives in the Diesel Age made it necessary to scrap her in 1960.

EAST BROAD TOP

No. 15, a 2-8-2 type, was built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1914 for a narrow gauge shortline, the East Broad Top Railroad & Coal Co., which dates hack to 1871. The company's narrow-gauge engines could not travel on standard gauge tracks, so Baldwin delivered them over the Pennsyhania Railroad on specially-built flatcars. No. 15 served continuously until the line was abandoned in 1956. She went back into service in 1960 when part of the line was revived as a tourist attraction. East Broad Top is one of the very few active narrow-gauge carriers in America today. Owning eight Baldwin steam engines, it operates steam-powered passenger trains regularly during the summer and early fall out of Rockhill Furnace (Orhisonia), Pennsylvania, where she is pictured here on a tourist run.

Jersey Central Camelback

ID # 1,085

JERSEY CENTRAL CAMELBACK

This 41-2 (Atlantic) type engine, which Brooks Locomotive Co. built in 1901 for the Central Railroad of New Jersey, was one of several hundred "double-cabbers" that operated mostly in the East over a period of about seventy years, beginning in 1880. The middle cab resembled a camel's hump or Mother Hubbard's hood and was, therefore, called a Camelback or Mother Hubbard. In some Camelbacks the rear cab was so rudimentary that it was almost nonexistent. While this arrangement gave the engineer working on mid-boiler a better view of the track ahead, it lessened cooperation between him and his fireman shoveling coal in the tender behind. It was virtually impossible for the fireman to communicate with the engineer while the train was running, although the engineer could signal by bell or whistle; and in an emergency the fireman could stop the train by setting the air brake. Built for speed, Camelbacks pulled the fastest passenger trains on the Camden-Atlantic City run.
