Its recorded in several sources (I was just leafing through "Erie Power" by Stauffer last night) that the three Erie 2-8-8-8-2 Triplexes (the first of which was the "Matt H. Shay") were too large to be shopped at any Erie facilities, and were often worked on by the LV at Sayre.
If this is true, and I have no reason to doubt it, then why are there NO known photos of Erie 2-8-8-8-2's in and around Sayre??
Perhaps some photos exist, but I have never seen even one..
the collection of the Sayre museum back in the 80's never had one..
strange..seems like they would be very popular photographic subjects!
thoughts?
thanks,
Scot
