Marion Model 60 |
| Description: |
No info with this large 8x11 cabnet photo. It looks like an 7 or 8 man crew are working on this dig. Two things that strike me are the track sections that this shovel is running on. Inching this thing along must require most of the crew energy to move the track components from the back of the shovel to the front and reset the stablizers. On the rise in the back ground it looks like there are stacks of ties drying. A google search for this company brings up a lot of info & photographs. Founded in 1884 as the Marion Steam Shovel Company‘s Model #91 was a big player on the Panama Canal dig. It became the Marion Power Shovel Company in 1946 and was taken over by Dresser Industries in 1977. /DL |

MEC 149 on Train 21 |
| Description: |
MEC #149 & crew somewhere in Maine. This was a Class N 4-6-0 blt in July of 1892 by Rhode Island, renumbered to 274 in 1900 and scrapped in June of 1912. CYLs were 19x24 with 57 inch drivers. I think the rolling stock is more interesting than the locomotive... In particular the RW&O box car ahead of the caboose. According to Wikipedia this was probably the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg RR which had clover leaf logo. It operated from 1842 to 1891. It’s nickname was Rotten Wood and Old Rusty Rails... (Sort‘a like the B&ML years ago as The Broken and Mended Line.) /DL |

BAR 4-6-0 #68 Boiler Explosion |
| Description: |
Nice older photo of the remains of BAR #68 after a boiler explosion some time in 1895. Specs - D-1 class, 63" drivers, 180 psi boiler pressure, 20x26" cylinders, engine weight of 144,500 lb, tractive effort of 25,257 lb. Since this data base will not accept dates before 1900, it has been arbitrarily listed as 1/1/1900 although the correct date for the photo is 2/9/1895. The photo is from the Ray F. Higgins collection |

Bridge Inspection |
| Description: |
Somewhere on the MEC, date, place, and photographer unknown. Further research determined that this was a gasoline powered car. Note the piston ahead of the rear axle with the direct link to the rear wheel !!. The operator had to push the car to start it and hopefully jump on before it ran away. Speed control was done by turning one or both of the cylinders off. If the operator failed to get onto in time the car could and did take off on its own. In one instance a car went for 70 miles before it ran out of gas... /DL |
