Talky Tuesday #41

Handsome S&NY 4-4-0 #106 poses for the camera in last week’s “WW #69”. Location is probably Towanda, given what appears to be the Susquehanna River in the background. The #106 is a former P.R.R. engine, bought in 1903 and scrapped in 1922.

The #117 was built for the NYC at ALCo’s Schenectady works in 1900, and was bought by the S&NY in 1926. The engine was reportedly scrapped after abandonment.

S&NY #119 departs the Lehigh Valley’s Towanda station trailing converted motor car 206 in last week’s “WW #63”. To the left is the old LV stone enginehouse. In the background, an LV freight passes the station and crosses over the North branch of the Susquehanna, while an REA truck waits by the station.
