It's nice see something other than an NYC Hudson or Mohawk. A rather compact tender as compared to those monstrosities the WM put behind theirs.

Reminds me of the Tender that accompanied my father’s Lionel 1666 (if I’ve remembered that # correctly from back in the early ‘50’s) that used to be so heartfelt beautiful as it made its way around the bottom of our Christmas tree each year.

Seeing those two Oil City vistas makes me mindful of how different, from these days, America and the entire world were then; the female in the long and voluminous skirt, likely worn, even, in hot weather, seems particularly symbolic of what I am trying to assert.

I wonder if there are any active wells/pumpjacks remaining out there? It's been a very long time since I was out to that part of the state.

It's been guesstimated that there are 300-500k abandoned oil and gas wells in Pennsylvania that have been left as inactive and unplugged......active ones? No idea...

Pretty sure there is an original style derrick, belt, and steam drive at the Museum in Oil City. Non-active, of course.

Is that dual-gauge trackage or some form of guard rail?

I think it's remnants of a narrow gauge track - that inner rail seems to end further toward the left.
