Steam Engines (N&PBL)

[NW Mailing List]

Of interest to N&W fans, how ‘bout the Belt Line’s two ex-N&W M-1s?

In ’49 - ’51, when I lived next to the VGN/Belt-line main, between Sewells Pt and the Granby St crossing, I saw one of the Ms (28?) and/or one of two PRR H-9s every day (on the PM transfer drags) as well as many of the Army engines; never saw the 2-6-0,(which MT converted from an Army 0-6-0, i read somewhere).  The RF&P engines came after Ieft.  I think that some of the Belt Line engines never made it out of Portsmouth (which was the Belt Line’s home).
