STUMP THE CHUMP!

OK, folks,

I've taken this image from the Amtrak forum. This is #16200 on the current Amtrak roster.

I'm not a Pennsy or NYC expert, but I suspect some of you are.

Can you identify this photo?

It looks as if the picture was taken at Penn coach yard at 30th St. in Phila. It is definatly a converted tender, possibly for fuel oil judging by the staining. As to it's parentage I'll hazard a guess and say PRR. It looks as if it came from an E-6 Atlantic. After looking at the photo again, I see where it says 'fuel oil only' on the end of the tank. BTW the steam plant in the background was demolished last year. Video of the demo can be seen on Youtube.

Looks a lot like the PRR E-3sd loco in this pic taken in Wilmington, DE 9-15-1938: http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/prr5075.jpg (WJ&SS had quite a few of these) If so the diagram for such shows the tender at 24' 1" body end to end. LIRR had quite similar looking tenders also for their E-5sa Atlantic camelbacks. http://www.trainsarefun.com/lirr/lirr%2 ... l-1901.jpg , http://www.trainsarefun.com/lirr/lirr%2 ... Keller.jpg

Thanks to both of you!!!!!! You're the greatest!

Here's another converted PRR tender. It's a 'coast to coast' freight tender (note the 'dog house' for the head end brakeman). This could have been pulled behind an M-1, J-1, or a Q-2.
