I've added two steam locomotives to our website that we hadn't known about before. The first is a standard gauge 0-4-0ST located in Frackville, PA. This locomotive was dug up from an abandoned strip mine in 2007 and given to Bear Ridge Machine & Fabrication Co. for display. Our page for this locomotive is:

The second locomotive added is a 15" gauge Crown 4-4-0 which is operational at the Bear Rock Junction Family Fun Park in New Tripoli, PA. Our page for this locomotive, with a photo and video is:

Careful ADM, you're dealing with nitroglycerin there.

So the gauge of the Frackville lokie is RR? Sounds like it worked the processed side of the breaker.

Frackville is on top of Broad Mountain between Pottsville and Mahanoy City. RDG was washed out in 1972 by Hurricane Agnes.
