Conrail's latest motive power.
Having accomplished his goals at the post office, the postmaster general has now set his eyes on Conrail.
Thanks, Ken. Taken at Steamtown in October, 2019. I couldn't resist the snarky comment.
One of conrails nicer locomotives.
That’s hilarious!
Nice old steamer, too.

Talk about a fixer upper! Nice shot!
Thanks, Jill. Steamtown only has a few locomotives, and only one that works. At one time, there was over 165, I believe, but when Congressman McDade fell into disgrace, Congress slashed the funding, and most were sent to other museums around the country.

The train doesn't look too intent on staying the the straight and narrow behind the engine.

But it does have brand new white tires. Those brakes at the rear two power wheels must be from one of those inexpensive tool stores. (Definitely not two by fours!)

For me an unusual locomotive.
I'm seeing tank locomotive with two air pumps.
Was this a switcher?

Too bad this locomotive is in such sad shape. It will never be able to move on its own without the connecting rods attached to the driving cylinder. Canadian National locomotive Hudson Type.
