A few CVRR pictures and some other related pictures....

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Rufus,
Is that the one that is on display?

Yes. Currently at the B&O Museum in Baltimore.

Do you have any idea why it is there and not in the RRM of Pa?

Belongs to the Smithsonian and it's on loan from there. I have thought for many years that the RRM of Pa would be a more proper location where it could be reunited with the CVRR combine that is housed there.

Like that gondola!!!

Looks as if those guys like "gettin' their picture tooken".

Do you know what the first C represents in BCLC?

Check the handrail on the tender. ??

Yup. A bundle of laughs and cheer...

Big Creek Lumber Co.

Check the handrail on the tender. ??

Wonder it that was done for loading clearance purposes.....

[rogruth]

The end of the handrail near the cab may be broken. Maybe something, a big tree, fell on it.

I'd imagine that's what some places may have looked like as the railroad worked at cutting through the mountains for what became the Pennsylvania Turnpike, huh.

I'd have to agree with you Rufus.
Note where the handrail is in relation to the deck of the slopeback tender.
Bend in handrail allows the watertank spout to properly reach the water
filler hatch opening to reduce the spillage when filling the tank at water stops...
It is just not very efficient to have your spout held back about 3 feet above your hatch!
Most cylindrical and semi-cylindrical tenders with tank-top handrails had
interruptions or bent-down handrails to allow for just such water spout access.
I'd attach one of the pictures that Turner posted of his Espee tenders, but I
am uncertain on how to do that easily as of yet.

And here are the future denizens of MTJ........

"Future denizens of MTJ," eh? Well,the boy on the far-left seems the most mischievous and eminently familiar.

4th in from the left in the vest looks familiar, too,

Uh huh, totally believable.

That 5th one in from the left....clearly Presidential material or he's been licking toads and popping mushrooms, or both!

[MurphOnMillerAve]

Oh, he's licked a few toads, all right, and maybe invented a few alternative uses for 'shrooms, too, yup. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to find out he had a few black vinyl outfits tucked away in some shed back home, too.

And restraints in the dungeon.......

You ever just stop and look at someone and just know, yup, he's got bodies buried in the basement?

[MurphOnMillerAve]

Around here? Yup. All the time.
