Laurel & Hardy? Abbot & Costello?

Laurel & Hardy? Abbot & Costello?

Given stature and all - Stan Laurel and Bub Abbott

Who knew they worked for the P&R?

If they are the proprietors, maybe, Mr. Money and Mr. Mo' money.

Sounds good to me.

At Newberry........

Looks as if they just piled junk on it. It must have been in bad shape because from
what I have read used Shays were pretty easy to sell if they ran at all.

Oh. Interesting, Roger. I had a different impression. I thought the pile was the result of a serious flood having passed through the area, dumping that junk residue against the locomotive. The displaced coal load, spilled out like that, also added to my impression of water having flooded the scene.

Murph,
You could be right but I thought scrap loco after noticing the loco to the right in the background.
I'll look some more.

Hard to tell. Maybe Rufus knows.

Does Newberry border the Susquehanna river. It could have been from a flood

You make an interesting point. I missed that detail entirely.

And regarding that spilled coal, kids could have gone there to play on the wreckage, or fuel-needy folks could have gone there to salvage coal for their homes, with either group knocking the coal about a bit.

No real idea......

Does - right adjacent to 3 Mile Island....

scrap loco after noticing the loco to the right in the background…

Was leaning that way - scrap yard...flood that did that much damage would have washed that coal away....

fuel-needy folks could have gone there to salvage coal for their homes,

Probably a good way to run off the property at gun point if lucky not with a well applied cudgel....

Good point about a flood and the coal.

Part of the cab also seems to be missing on the Shay.
