CNJ 0-6-0C #1 - Central RR of New Jersey |
| Description: |
This appears to be the first 0-6-0 camelback switchers built for the Central RR of New Jersey. This one was a 1901 Brooks example of the ugly-cute switcher that was common working the Communipaw yards. Some of these lasted into the early 1950's before being retired. Robert P. Morris photo credit. |

Bisso 0-6-0 No. 1 |
| Description: |
Former Texas Pacific-Missouri Pacific Terminal Railroad of New Orleans (TPMPT) 0-6-0 number 1 was photographed in September 1951 at its new home, the New Orleans Coal & Bisso Towboat Co. The loco – and its sibling No. 2 – had been built by Alco-Richmond in June 1907 (42928-42929) as Trinity & Brazos Valley 75 and 76, for use at Galveston; but following the T&BV’s bankruptcy in 1914, the railroad lost its access to Galveston from Fort Worth over the Santa Fe and the two switchers became redundant. The City of Houston bought the two locomotives via the Barry Equipment Co. in 1917 and they arrived on 31 March lettered Houston Municipal 1 and 2. They were leased to the International & Great Northern from March 1918 until October 1921, and were sold to Grant Locomotive and Car Works [of Houston] in1922. They subsequently moved to the TP-MPT where they retained their previous numbers. In early 1948 the TP-MPT received four Alco S2 diesels, and the 0-6-0’s were sold to Bisso by August 1949. Besides operating coal-burning towboats and ferries, Bisso also provided coal for other vessels and used its locos to move hopper cars from a 2-track yard along the New Orleans Public Belt then up the Mississippi River levee to its coal-handling facility along the river. Bisso’s coaling operation ended around 1955, and with it, the need for any locomotives. No. 1 disappeared, and was probably scrapped; but No. 2 remained on Bisso property until 2010, when it was donated to the Louisiana Railway Heritage Trust. (approximate date of photo) |

| Description: |
Sitting outside on an Illinois Terminal flatcar is the Lake Erie & Fort Wayne tender shell. Hopefully it can be restored along with its steam engine to its right place as an historic piece of railroading. A difficult project but hopefully it will be done if the FWHS thinks it is possible. They should know - they brought back NKP 765 to life! |

Hannibal Connecting |
| Description: |
The Hannibal Connecting RR was built in 1902 to connect the large, new Atlas Portland Cement plant at Ilasco with Hannibal, about three miles north. Although the CB&Q ran alongside their tracks, the line allowed Atlas to connect with the Katy and St Louis & Hannibal as well as the Burlington. The HC never had more than four steam locomotives at any one time, all supposedly 0-6-0Ts, with three on line by World War II. Diesels, first ex-Army Whitcombs and then a pair of Alco S1s, came in about 1947 and the line continued until abandoned in 1966. This shot appears to show the entire roster sitting in front of the road's brick engine house, which still stands in 2013. Number 2 may be a Manchester-built 0-6-0T from 1902. the date listed is pure speculation. |

Bisso Towboat 2 |
| Description: |
This was the former Texas Pacific-Missouri Pacific Terminal Railroad of New Orleans 0-6-0 number 2 shortly after it had been repainted by the Bisso Towboat Co. Bisso had owned the locomotive for over 30 years, and finally decided to fix it up. The yellow stripe on the stack was a trademark of Bisso tugboats. The locomotive was built by Alco's Richmond Works (serial No. 42929) in June 1907 as Trinity & Brazos Valley 76, and was later TPMPTRRofNO number 2. |

Bisso Towing #2 |
| Description: |
This shot was taken from atop the Mississippi River Levee at Bisso's yard in New Orleans. While the quality isn't great, it shows that the locomotive is still upright and on the approach to what is believed to be the old coaling trestle. The chain link gate to the right of the yellow gate was the where the rails once passed onto the property from atop the levee. Bisso #2 was originally TPMPTC #2 |

CB&Q 0-6-0 Class G-5 504 |
| Description: |
Northwestern Steel & Wire 0-6-0 number 4 at Sterling, Illinois on November 11, 1958, Kodachrome by unknown photographer, Chuck Zeiler collection. This locomotive was built in 1919 by the Cooke Works of the American Locomotive Company (Alco) for the CB&Q (c/n 61384). It was one of ten USRA design 0-6-0's that Alco delivered to the Burlington, numbered 500-509, calssed G-5. All lasted into 1953-1954, this one was sold for scrap to Northwestern Steel and Wire (NSW) in December 1954. However, NSW found a few of the Burlington's 0-6-0 serviceable, and put them to work shuffling scrapped steam locomotives from the scrap yard to the furnaces, turning locomotives into wire. This one, former CB&Q 504, became NSW 4 by the simple expedient of painting out the 50, leaving the number 4. One of the products of NSW was nails, and the unofficial slogan of NSW (at least among railfans) was that there was a steam locomotive in every box of NSW nails. The CB&Q 0-6-0's lasted in this service until about 1959, when the GTW sold their 0-8-0's for scrap to NSW, and the 0-8-0's shuffled the 0-6-0's to the furnaces. |

CNJ 0-6-0C #5 - Central RR of New Jersey |
| Description: |
Stubby but cute little 0-6-0 camelback switcher blows its whistle long and hard. Built by Brooks in 1901 for the Central RR of New Jersey, this was a member of the B3 class switchers. No location, date or photographer listed on this photo although it may be Communipaw or Elizabethport yards, both known for these stubby switchers. |
