Troy Daily Times article on Collpase of bridge over Tomhannock Creek

ID# 9,235

The following was copied from the files of the now-defunct TROY DAILY TIMES of August 3 1859 relative to the collapse of the bridge crossing TOMHANNOCK CREEK and which eventually put the railroad out of business. What follows is the logical sequel to the disaster and the likewise copied from THE TROY DAILY TIMES OF SEPTEMBER of September 16 1859. The last account is recorded on microfilm and is on file in the Reference Room on the second floor of the Troy Public Library and as the newspaper itself was not in very good shape insofar as some of the printing was concerned-due allowance must be made for any errors which may appear.

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.
