| Nice photo of the 1911 Reading Shops built 4-6-0C ten wheeler camelback, class L-8se. Notable on this unusual locomotive is the mammoth Wooten firebox which allowed the Reading to burn less efficient coal than traditionally shaped fireboxes, hence making these camelbacks a financial success at the sacrifice of human safety and comfort. The entire class remained in service until after WW II. No exact date or photographer listed for the photo. |
