BEDT 0-6-0T #12 - Brooklyn East District Terminal

Description:

Originally built by H. K. Porter in 1916 for the US Navy Fleet Supply South Brooklyn, the little tank loco eventually migrated to the Brooklyn East District Terminal. It was also converted from coal burnning to oil burning. The little guy was retired circa 1962 and luckily ended up at the sunny Florida RR Museum as a static display. Maybe someday it will be restored to run the rails again! The date for the photo is approximate

BEDT 0-6-0T #13 - Brooklyn East District Terminal

Description:

Built by H. K. Porter in 1916 for the US Navy Fleet Supply South Brooklyn, this little tank engine eventually moved over to the Brooklyn East District Terminal to work shuffling cars there until retirement around 1962. The once coal burner was converted some earlier time to being an oil burner. After retirement, it ended up at the RR Museum of Pennsylvania as an outdoor static display. I'm not sure of its status since 2010 as it doesn't appear on the latest museum rosters. The date for the photo is an approximate one as none was listed.

BEDT 0-6-0ST #15

Description:

Built by H.K. Porter in March, of 1917, this little 0-6-0ST coal burner has quite a history. First, a note on the back of the photo states "At this late date - Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal at Pedgeon St Yard, Newtown Creek & East River. From Vernoa Ave bridge.Smoke in background from a LIRR G-5s." After the BEDT was dieselized, this switcher was sold to the Southern Appalachian Railway in 1965. The Southern Appalachain Railway ran from Burnsville, North Carolina to Erwin, Tennessee. It worked there until 1975, when it was moved to the Toledo, Lake Erie and Western Railway in Grand Rapids, Ohio. It was later purchased by the Strasburg Railroad and arrived there on May 9th, 1998. It was completely converted to a steam replica of Thomas, and ran for the first time on April 29th, 1999. The engine is still currently in service, but only runs on Day Out with Thomas events. Unknown photographer.
