PRR 4519, I-1SA Tender, 1966 |
| Description: |
Doghouse. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad rolling stock just East of WYE Tower in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, during March of 1966. Shown here are two PRR locomotive tenders, coupled to a long string of hopper cars. When the locomotives that they had been attached to were decommissioned and sent to the scrap dock, these tenders were spared for another ten years or so. Also visible is the clock tower of the Blair County Court House in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania. |

But now, their temporary numbers have been lined through and the word "PENNSYLVANIA" has been removed from their sides ~ which means that they would soon be scrapped as well. |

| Description: |
Doghouse. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad rolling stock just East of WYE Tower in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, during March of 1966. Shown here is the builder's plate on the first tender. This is a Model 90-F-82 steam locomotive tender. The "4519" indicates that it was attached to PRR I-1SA "Decapod" (2-10-0) locomotive #4519. Mr. Roger RadbillI suggests (in a personal communication) that "this most likely is the original tender from PRR 4519 1923 Baldwin Locomotive Works I1s c/n 56798 rebuilt to I1sa 4/43 and scrapped or sold 10/59." |

Doghouse. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad rolling stock just East of WYE Tower in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, during March of 1966. Shown here is a closer view of the "Doghouse" on the second tender. The structure itself is made of metal and originally there was glass in the windows. The low-lying structures on both sides of the deck could be flipped open so that water could be poured into the tender's reservoir. The round thing on the right was a headlight so that the locomotive's crew could see in the dark while running backwards. Also visible are the signal bridge on the left and the Vipond Mansion on the right across US Route 22. |

Doghouse. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad rolling stock just East of WYE Tower in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, during March of 1966. Shown here is what the head-end brakeman would have seen while sitting in the "Doghouse." You can almost feel the rockin' and rollin' as the train leaves Hollidaysburg on its way up the Allegheny Mountains ~ via the Muleshoe Curve ~ on its way to Gallitzin and points West! In this photo, the PRR's tracks occupy the original right-of-way for the Allegheny Portage Railway between Hollidaysburg and Duncansville. |

Doghouse. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad rolling stock just East of WYE Tower in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, during March of 1966. Shown here is a right-side view of the "Doghouse" on the second tender. The steel rods around the window were to protect the head-end brakeman from tree branches and other objects when he leaned out to inspect the cars of the train behind him. PRR Hopper Car #191117 may have been a 70-ton capacity H-21A, built at the Altoona Car Shops around 1916. It was in line to be scrapped, too. Also visible is the clock tower of the Blair County Court House in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania. |

Doghouse. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad rolling stock just East of WYE Tower in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, during March of 1966. Shown here is the coal-bin of the first tender, as seen from the coal-bin of the second tender. This is what the locomotive engineer and fireman would see: Dutch doors on the coal-bin itself, and a channel in the floor for the coal to feed into the mechanical stoker. Until Federal rules were published in 1923, most steam locomotives were hand fired ~ up to 5,000 pounds of coal per hour! |

Doghouse. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad rolling stock just East of WYE Tower in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, during March of 1966. Shown here are the drawbars linking the two tenders together, as well as the mechanical stoker/worm gear that fed coal from the tender into a flaming firebox in the good old days of steam railroading. |
