Do any of your know if the order books or construction records from 1874/5 of Andrew Carnegie's Pittsburgh Locomotive & Car Works have been preserved? if so, where are they domiciled? |

If you are looking for construction numbers of locomotives built by Pittsburgh then the answer is yes. What do you want to know ? Kevin K. |

Kevin, Pittsburgh constructed one or two small locomotives for Lake View & Collamer, a small line on the east side of Cleveland. Seeking any of the usual data on the order(s), builders #, wheel arrangement, wgt, etc... and if the builder followed up with their sale(s) to other locomotive users. |

I looked it up in my ALCO Pittsburgh records and I found nothing at all. I even tried looking for them in the ALCO Brooks records; nothing. Could they have been built by another builder ? Kevin K. |

Kevin, My question was based upon a Cleveland newspaper report, and since the reporter used Pittsburgh locomotive, I started with that. Perhaps the reporter did not get it right and meant H. K. Porter, another Pittsburgh locomotive manufacturer? If he was mistaken, do Porter records exist? |

Yes they do, they are in the volume that the National Model Railroad Association published on H.K.Porter https://www.amazon.com/Porter-Steam-Loc ... 0964705036 |

Oops! Not the Globe Locomotive Works of Boston but the Globe Iron Works of Cleveland. All three simply listed as "dummy". |

Kevin, do you have anything on the Cleveland Terminal and Valley Railroad's 4-6-0's built by the Pittsburgh in 1897? They were numbered from 31-37. Looking for specs, build date, and construction numbers. Matt |

The Valley Railway had 4-4-0s built by Baldwin numbered from 3-9 in 1878-1880. There appears to be a gap for 4-4-0s numbered 10-12, which seem to be built by a different company in 1880 or 1881. I have a photo of #11 attached, and was wondering maybe you or someone else could help me identify who built it. My thoughts are either Pittsburgh or Hinkley. Matt
