Anyone know more about this 1960s operation? Where is this engine today? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2202822689&category=20232 ryarger@rypn.org |

I may even have a copy of this postcard in the NJMT collection stemming from our discussions with him over his Cagney. http://www.njmt.org jrmay@njmt.org |

I believe this is the locomotive which after storage at the B&W RR in St. Marys, went to Chuck Umbley in Kane, PA. He has restored it and has a bit a trackage. However, I haven't seen it there. Anyone know where the cars went? I think they went east. > It looks to me like it was George Spohrer's > operation. He had a private line out in that > area.

Bob, The operation is not in the 1968 Steam directory, so I guess it did not last long. I have the same post card you sat on e-bay. The engine looks like an Americanized Herschel in 60 cm. where she is today, who knows? Ted Miles ted_miles@nps.gov |

If it indeed went to Chuck Umbley in Kane, PA; then it is Henschel 23117/1937; and I have it listed as still there today. -James Hefner Hebrews 10:20a > Bob, The operation is not in the 1968 Steam > directory, so I guess it did not last long. > I have the same post card you sat on e-bay. > The engine looks like an Americanized > Herschel in 60 cm. > where she is today, who knows? > Ted Miles Surviving World Steam Project james@survivingworldsteam.com |

Quick question - is this still a "thing"? Do we still have an operational Henschel in Kane, PA? According to a 2016 post in the "Notes" section at the link below, it still is...? http://steamlocomotive.info/vlocomotive ... splay=1658 |
