RDG 2-8-0 #959 Camelback - Philadelphia & Reading |
| Description: |
The fireman stands ready and waiting for the engineer to signal. This is another good looking camelback - if you don't mind the "Beauty-and-the-Beast" appearance. Small 50.5" drivers and producing 175 psi boiler pressure with a tractive effort of only 22,399 lb limited its usefulness as the cars and trains grew in length and weight. The location listed on the back of the photo was Mine Hill Junction - not familiar with the area but think it is near Cressona. Can anyone verify this? No photographer was listed. |
