A Whitcomb 65T rests at the end of the line at the Materials Service Corporation sand and gravel quarry in Lockport.

Sister to #0144 which I caught in service.

Thanks. This is something totally new and extremely interesting.

It kinda looks foreign, but also familiar :D I'm used to diesels with the cab in the middle, but this one looks different, as the cab isn't higher than the hood, which rises up to the level of the cab's roof. Strange indeed...

Crazy looking. Who made these?

Those were the days when there were more than 2 companies building locomotives! (Or at least more than 2 with locos still in service.)

There is a scrap yard at the old PRR yard in Sharpsburg, PA that was running a couple of these years ago. A friend of mine worked there as an overhead crane operator and one I went with him on a Saturday. They didn't allow railfans on the property and they didn't allow pictures, but while my friend was talking to his foreman, I snapped a few shots when they weren't looking. :-) I'll have to scan them and post them for you to check out. I've always liked these center cabs.

Are there any survivors of that type of locomotive? We used to have a similar one here some years ago (model 104DE2, serial numbers 61156 to 61167), but, apart from one stored in a museum, the others have been demolished in '87.

Will somebody teach me how to take decent photographs?

~yankeedog:iconyankeedog: Sep 10, 2008, 6:25:54 PM
I know one of them was painted Red, White & Blue for 1976 Bicentennial, the other was painted Black & Silver. I'll look for them. I also took some photos of the PRR office building in Aspinwall near the Brilliant Branch bridge that same day.
