The Waiting....1360 viewsI take my camera on certain trips...and while waiting for the conductor to return to the head end,I snapped this shot. Coal Power being returned on the 19th of July, on the Z127 to Flint Mi. This train was over 9100 feet long, and over 17,000 tonsgtw5812

High Green on Sandpatch139 viewsClouds of blue diesel exhaust testify to the effort involved in moving tonnage up Sandpatch grade. A mixed quartet of second generation geeps, representing all three Chessie System component roads, shatters the morning stillness of nearby Meyersdale PA as they struggle relentlessly toward the summit. The Clear signal indication is certainly a welcome sight to the crew.

MEC U25B #228 + MEC (Guilford) U23B #281252 viewsThe Guilford era on the D&H dawned with high hopes and a bright splash of color, as exemplified by MEC U25B #228 and freshly repainted ex-D&H U23B #281, idling at the William St end of the North Yard in Buffalo NY. The units had apparently been used as pushers on a heavy westbound movement over Attica Hill.

UPRR 2-10-2 #5500790 viewsEngineer for Union Pacific, Archie A. Searle in the cab of U.P. 5500

Union Pacific 5500 is a 2-10-2 - UP 5500 was part of a final group of Class TTT-6 15 2-10-2s built by Baldwin and delivered to the LA-SL(Los Angelas-Salt Lake railroad) and given road numbers 5500 through 5514 in 1923.

Between 1917 and 1924, the Union Pacific Railroad purchased 144 2-10-2 "Santa Fe" types, divided into classes TTT-1 through TTT-7. The UPRR did not call them "Santa Fe" types. They instead gave them the "TTT" class name(Two-Ten-Two). American Locomotive Company (ALCO) built 18, Baldwin Locomotive Works built 89 and Lima Locomotive Works built 37. Despite the divided classes, all of the UP 2-10-2s had the same cylinder dimensions, driving wheel diameter and boiler pressure. After 26 years in service, the UP 5500 was 1 of 4 2-10-2's retired in 1949.
This photo is part of Archie A. Searle's family collection.

D&H GP39-2 #385 William St Buffalo NY255 viewsLed by NYSW B40-8 #4024 and GATX GP40 #3705, renumbered D&H GP39-2 #385, seen approaching William St, still wears Guilford paint, though the large 'G' on the long hood has been blacked out. Following CP Rail's subsequent purchase of the D&H, 4-axle motive power would become increasingly rare on the Southern Tier Line.
