LI 0-8-0 #258 - Long Island RR |
| Description: |
Nice original action photo of Long Island 0-8-0 yard switcher #258 in the Jamaica, NY, yard. Although I couldn't find any info about this loco except it is a member of the C51s class, Tom Beckett came to the rescue (see comment below). The loco was built by Alco-Pittsburgh in 1918 and served until being retired in 1950. The location listed on the photo may be in question as noted by Tom below so a little more research is needed. Thanks, Tom, for the help! The photo is from the Bob Lorenz collection and the date was given as just "1935." |

LI 0-8-0 #269 - Long Island RR |
| Description: |
Fair quality original photo of the Long Island Railroad 0-8-0 yard switcher #269. No date, location or photographer was given for the photo. Although there was no information to be found online about this locomotive, Tom Beckett came to the rescue (see comment below) with Alco-Richmond as the builder in March 1924 according to his search in "Steel Rails to the Sunrise". After serving 27 years, it was retired in 1951. Thanks, Tom! |
