 Post subject: Mystery Steam Locomotive *PIC*
PostPosted: Mon Mar 12, 2001 10:44 am 

Can anyone help me pin down the origins of this engine? All I know is that it is a coal burning standard gauge 0-6-0. It is part of a restaurant/hotel complex in Tannersville PA. Its visible to anyone travelling west on Interstate 80 through the pocono mountains, just west of Stroudsburg, PA. There is also a heavy-weight passenger car behind the engine, though, again, little to know information is available. I've even checked steam-locomotive.com but I can't seem to pin it down. Anyone out there have any more info?

steamlocomotive.com does list this locomotive at the Train Coach Restaurant and Inn at Tannersville, Pa. But they misidentify it as an 0-4-0T. They list it as being ex-Bethlehem Steel. I know it is in Dave Conrad's directory (with a complete history), but I'm not where my copy is at.

OK

I guess thats how is missed it, the mis-labeling i guess. Thanks for the tip. I'm still wondering when they put it up there though. I remember seeing it as a yound boy (being a ripe-ole 26 now) when i'd go visiting relatives out here in Scranton. Thanks again

I checked Dave Conrad's directory. The locomotive was built by Baldwin, but its S/N and built date is unknown. It was built for Bethlehem Steel and later transfered (date unknown) to their mines division. Later (date unknown) it was sold to PA boiler manufacturer Cleaver-Brooks. From there it went to the Train Coach Restaurant in 1966.
