EBT Doodlebug M-1 - East Broad Top |
| Description: |
According to the EBT roster page, "In 1926, EBT shop employees began assembly of a motorcar kit supplied by J. G. Brill and Westinghouse. Construction and testing was finished in 1927. Today, M-1 is a one-of-a-kind piece of railroad equipment. Nowhere else can you ride an original 3 foot gauge gas-electric motorcar on its original right-of-way with all original components. M-1 has never been restored but has had great care over the years and thus retains its historic charm. Specs: Brill, 6 cylinder, 1980 cubic inch displacement, aluminum block, 400 to 1100 rpm." An unknown photographer took this color slide. |

PRR Doodlebug 4668 - Pennsylvania RR |
| Description: |
Nice action shot of the 1930 Brill/Pullman built Pennsylvania RR doodlebug #4668 with Pullman coach car #1644 speeding along an unidentified countryside. It appears that this doodlbug has survived the PRR/PC/Amtrak upheaval. It was at one time on the Illinois Rwy Museum roster in Union, IL Now it appears that it was owned by John Kunzie who has it stored in the Escanaba & Lake Superior enginehouse in Michigan. Would be great to see this unit restored for rail fans to enjoy. No location or photographer lsited for the photo. |
