ME 2-8-0 #6 - Morristown & Erie |
| Description: |
Before the Pittsburgh Locomotive Works joined the ALCo group in 1901, it built this 2-8-0 Consolidation for the PLE as their #135 in April of 1898 but shipped it out on 5/4/1898. The loco was sold to the NYC in 1907 and renumbered NYC 2-8-0 #9314. Morristown & Erie acquired it on 9/16/1914. The loco was retired to spare engine status with its very last day of operation on 12/21/1945. It was finally scrapped on 10/1948. This is a Donald W. Furler photo. |

PRR DD1 #28 - Pennsylvania RR |
| Description: |
Built by the Juniata shops in 1910, this is one of those cross-over locoomotives that had steam engine characteristics but ran on DC. These were semi-permanently coupled pairs. The unknown photographer made notes about it in terms of a steam locomotive - "4-4-4-4 type, class DD-1, 72" drivers, 313,000 lb weight, exerts 66,000 lbs tractive effort." Caught here in Morris Park Engine Yard, outside Long Island. The sepia photo lost details when flipped to b&w so left it untouched. |

PRR DD1 #30 |
| Description: |
Built by the Altonna shops circa 1911, the DD1 units were semi-permanently coupled pairs of third rail direct current electric locomotives. Each half-locomotive contained one large electric motor mounted in the body and driving via a jackshaft and side rods. Those electric motors gave the DD1 a potential top speed of 85 mph. Thanks to Thomas Ayers (see comment below), the locaiton has been identified as PRR's Sunnyside yards in Long Island City, NY/ Thanks Thomas for your help! |

The trolley #313 found by the indiana Rwy Museum which looked similar to the original one was brought over from Portugal in 1986-7. It was rebuilt with the cupola added to resemble the original FLWB trolley from 1903. A diesel engine instead of the original electric catenary system and an hydrostatic transmission was installed to permit easier use making the original catenary power system unnecessary |

Here is an interior shot of the former Portuguese trolley. The cupola was added by master restorer Dan Ping along with saving as much of the decaying trolley as possible and repalcing parts faithful to the original 1930 trolley.. |

French Lick & West Baden Trolley #1 |
| Description: |
The throttle of the 1930 trolley sits on the control panel which has labels in Portuguese. Surprisingly, the control panel at opposte end of the trolley has its markings in English! When the trolley has to switch directions for a return trip, the throttle handle is removed and carried to the opposite end control panel. |

French Lick & West Baden Trolley #1 |
| Description: |
The opposite end control panel from the previous photo shows the console markings in English, rather than the Portuguese at the opposite end. Note the throttle handle is missing. The conductor moves it to the end he needs according to the direction he wants to head. Hence, the trollwy is never turned around but instead does the "ping pong" action, much like the old Lionel toy trolley with its reversing bumper. |

Lastly, the benches were reversible direction type but not sure they are capable of doing that now. At least, when we took the ride, half of the seats faced one way and half faced the other. |
