Talky Tuesday #27
No fancy sanding towers at Marsh Hill in last week’s “WW 55”. Labor was cheap and machines were expensive back then. Sand domes on the locomotives were filled by hand, one bucket at a time. Wonder how long it took?

I am unsure of the identity of the men in last week’s “WW #54”. Also, I am not sure whether the fellows are member of a train crew, or section crew. I do believe the location is Towanda, though, given the river and mountain in the background. As before, if any readers can help with identifying these guys, I would appreciate it.

S&NY section crew and motorized section car are the subject of last week’s “WW #53”. Based on the number of tracks and the background hills, I would surmise this shot was taken at Marsh Hill. I am unsure of the identities of the men in the photo, and any reader’s help would be appreciated.

Last week’s “WW #51” is an engineer’s-side view of #115 coming off the turntable at Towanda. The 115 was purchased new from Baldwin in 1913, and was rebuilt at some point by the Lehigh Valley at Sayre, PA. After abandonment, #115 went to Providence, RI.
