Erie 2924 K-5 |
| Description: |
Here we have an incredible Erie Railroad in Youngstown photo taken almost 75 years ago to this day! Its September 12, 1941 as this westbound Erie passenger train pauses downtown. The fireman is standing on the tender of Erie K-5 #2924 taking on water with the original St. Columba Cathedral looking over on top of the hill. Everything in this photo is gone. What looks to be six tracks in this photo - all gone today. St. Columba is gone as well, suffering a fire from a lightning strike in 1954. The new St. Columba, built in the same location, does not compare to this beautiful structure. Photo taken by G. A. Doeright of Poland, Ohio, from the James Pope collection. |

NKP Class Leader GP30 and RS3 |
| Description: |
The Nickel Plate Road was late to dieselize. Still running 2-8-4 Berkshire steam locomotives until mid-1957, they were one of the last major railroads to run steam. The year is 1963, however, and steam is gone. Here, class leader GP30, NKP #900, sits in Conneaut, Ohio coupled to ALCO RS-3 NKP #544 on Wednesday May 29, 1963. NKP 900 still lives today and is on display at the Mad River and NKP Museum in Bellevue, Ohio. Photo by James Pope. |
