LI 0-8-0 #258 - Long Island RR
Title:  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."

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!

Description:  This Alco-Cooke 0-8-0 yard switcher was built in 1923 as Pere Marquette #1315, class C-13. No date was given and the location by R.D. Patton was listed as Ganley's Ridge, WV. I cannot find that location anywhere. Can anyone help with this one? Jonathan Spurlock has found Handley, WV, as having several of the landmarks in a couple of photos that were marked as Ganley's Ridge, so will use that location until someone knows exactly where Ganley's Ridge is.
