Chesapeake Western Railway #102
Title:  Chesapeake Western Railway #102
Description:  Built by the Richmond Locomotive Works in 1895 with construction number 2186, #102 would spend it's entire life hauling passenger trains along the lines of the Chesapeake Western Railway between Elkton, Virginia, and Harrisonburg, Virginia. Originally delivered for the Chesapeake & Western Railroad as #102 with the name "Lizzie Allison", the locomotive was probably purchased with funds from the estate of W. E. D. Stokes who was the owner and directer of the railroad at that point in time. On March 3, 1900, Stokes officially decided to change the name of the railroad from the Chesapeake & Western Railroad to the Tidewater & West Virginia Railroad. This new name didn't stick though because the railroad never actually extended into West Virginia. This led Stokes to revert the name back to the Chesapeake & Western and immediately lease the line to the newly incorporated Chesapeake Western Railway which itself was established on March 13, 1901 with the same management. At some point while working on the Chesapeake Western, the name "Lizzie Allison" was removed from the side of the locomotive cab and the engine was then on only known as #102. The locomotive was still in active service as late as 1937 as seen in this photograph, but was probably running on borrowed time as it was retired in the late 1930's and scrapped. This photograph displays #102 stopped with a passenger train at the Elkton, Virginia, passenger station. The first passenger car being the locomotive's tender appears to be a baggage car. Month and year are correct. Exact date is an estimate.

Train 776
Title:  Train 776
Description:  On the back of the photo: - Train 78 Engine 200 at Winslow’s Mills, Summer 1910 (then) More likely 776 Sunday. - L.W. Moody Collection. Parts of the Moody collection came up for auction a few years ago. Lots of interesting material on Maine Railroading. Winslow’s Mill is located on the Rockland Branch just west of Waldoboro near the State Rt 32 Xing according to my map. Today this trackage is owned by the State of Maine and in the 2010 to 2015 time frame was operated by the Maine Eastern (aka Morristown & Erie). The Central Maine & Quebec is set to take over operation of the branch in early 2016. MEC #200, origionally from #156 in 1900 came from Schnacatady builder number 4227 built in November 1894 and wrecked in November of 1920. An MEC Class L 4-4-0, cyl 19x24 with 69inch drivers. /DL

CNW 4-4-0 #203 - Chicago & North Western
Title:  CNW 4-4-0 #203 - Chicago & North Western
Description:  Although an F3A would wear the same #203 later, the first to do so was this 1899 Schenectady built American type locomotive. An example of the B class locomotives that served the CNW in the early years, this loco had spindly looking 75" drivers but could develop a respectable 190 psi boiler pressure for its 19.5"x26" cylinders. The engine weight was a delicate 137,000 lb and it could generate a modest tractive effort of 21,289 lb, enough to handle the lighter, smaller trains of its day. Simple, unobstructed style - must have been much easier to work on than the later models built 40 years later! It is shown parked at the CNW shops in Chicago. The date is approximate.

CB&Q 4-4-0 Class A-2 440
Title:  CB&Q 4-4-0 Class A-2 440
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-4-0 Class A-2 440 at Aurora, Illinois on an unknown day in October 1940 ( 18, 19, or 20 ), photographer unknown. The following is excerpted from Burlington Route Historical Society Bulletin 45, entitled "Modern Americans", edited by Hol Wagner:

Number 440 was built by Hinckley Locomotive Works in December 1883 ( c/n 1657 ) as CB&Q 445, becoming Burlington & Missouri River Railroad number 156 in 1886. In 1904 it was renumbered to CB&Q Class A-2 324. In July 1916 it was rebuilt at Havelock and renumbered 440. In July 1926, it was sold for $3,000.00 to Pete Hedgpeth as Rock Port Langdon & Northern 440 and fitted with a slopeback tender from a Kansas City Terminal switcher. In 1940, the Burlington celebrated their 90th Anniversary. As it happened, Number 35 ( Burlington's exhibition 4-4-0 ) was at the New York World's Fair, which the Q did not wish to disturb. So the 440 was borrowed from the RPL&N, fitted with a diamond stack and long cow catcher at the Saint Joseph, Missouri shops, and a rectangular tender from a retired A-2 ( the original had rusted out ), and sent on tour of Lines East locations as B&MR 156 ( notably, Lincoln and Council Bluffs ), but for the appearance at Aurora it was repainted to CB&Q 440. When it exhibition duties were finished, the 440 was returned to the RPL&N and reunited with the slopeback tender. The 440 made its last trip on the RPL&N on November 11, 1945 after that road suffered two track washouts. The assets of the RPL&N were sold off, and the 440 was scrapped in the summer of 1953.
