Looking at the photo I noticed a "WORK CAR" in back of the 4-4-0 camelback. Curious as to the "growth" on the roof of the car. What was it used for? Thanks, Rich Ramik You stole my comment, Eric---- B&S 10001-10500 Pressed Steel Car Co. 1905-06 (B&O 139028-249) B&S 10501-11250 Unknown builder (Same B&O series) B&S 12101-12600 PSCCo. 1907 (B&O 11601-12595) All 41-9 IL cars with drop bottoms. Did not last long past the B&S acquisition of 1932. PS&N 9143 was from series 9100-9199, AC&F 1899, originally 100-199. 36-8 IL, 30 ton cars, note with Fox trucks. Ah the old stuff----great times!

It captures the industrialization of America perfectly. The bucolic scenery, and then a massive, brand new roundhouse and railroad yard. And youhave to love that foot path from the roundhouse to the boarding house!! And photographed from a CULM BANK ? A hundred foot tall pile of waste rock ??What a lovely addition to the scenery! :-) Tim O'Connor Schuyler, The next couple of images are great! A Buffalo & Susquehanna steel gondolais featured. I didnt know the B&S had any steel gons. http://lists.railfan.net/erielack-photo/erielack-08-07-16/B0799.jpg And note a Shawmut box car is parked on the stores track to the right of theroundhouse.
