| Post subject: | Disposition of two Forneys |
I'm trying to find out what happened to two ex-IRT Forneys sold in1930 to Bion J. Arnold for use in the dismantling of the Elgin, Belvidere, & Rockford interurban line. What I've found out is below: #54 - Built by Rhode Island 9-21-1878 (BN 728) Rebuilt as Class K2 by Pittsburgh 12-28-1893 (BN 1506). Sold to Elgin, Belvedere & Rockford Ry. Co., Chicago, Ill 9-19-1930. #64 - Built by Rhode Island 9-26-1878 (BN 723) Rebuilt as Class K2 by Pittsburgh 1-16-1894 (BN 1513). Sold to Elgin, Belvedere & Rockford Ry. Co., Chicago, Ill 9-19-1930. As rebuilt, both had 42" drivers, 12x16 cylinders and weighed 48,200 lbs. Can anyone fill in the disposition details? hankmorris@earthlink.net |
