Old girl has been picked clean

very good video

Some corrections about the ones in Oaks. The 44 tonner isn't a 44 tonner, it's a 45 tonner. It was never attempted to be cosmetic restored. These used to be stored in another location in Oaks, where only the visible side was repainted. It was never planned to do the whole loco. It was also never owned by Steamtown. It was built for Alan Wood Steel and they converted it to radio control, then it was sold to a tourist railroad that would have operated out of Oaks, but that never happened. Then at some point, it was sold again to the current owner. The speeder (only shown, not talked about) was Upper Merion & Plymouth number 5. I assume it was built by them as it doesn't match any other commercialy avaliable designs. It was also sold to the failed tourist railroad, and there is actually a video of it in operation, although the audio had been replaced with music (and for some reason can only be watched in Microsoft Edge??? It gives an error in the app and Google.) Some additional info. The steam loco was built in September 1902 by H.K. Porter for National Steel where it was sent to its Mingo Junction plant. In 1917 it was sold to the U.S. Army, and in 1920 was sold to Worcester Electric Co. of Worcester Massachusetts, where it was their number one. In 1936 Worcester Electric merged with some other electric companies in the area to form Worcester County Electric Co. 1 stayed operating at the same plant. In 1937 the locomotive was reboilered. In 1960 Worcester County Electric renamed themselves Massachusetts Electric Co. and in 1962, 1 was retired. In 1968 it was sold to Steamtown, and in 1969 was moved to North Walpole, New Hampshire. In the early 70's it was repainted into Steamtown's own paint scheme, around this time it was test fired. In 1985 Steamtown moved to Scranton, the move cost a lot, more than they had. So, in October 1988 it was sold at auction for $4,800. It was later sold to its current owner and moved to Oaks. The Whitcomb is a mysterious one. All I have found out is that it's frame number is 12381, and it was part of the Steamtown collection. In terms of build date the engine is marked as being built in 1927. (By the way it's a gas-mecanical) Reportedly it had it's clutch replaced in Steamtown ownership. It was also sold at the October 1988 auction, for a price of $1,750 to its current owner. Current owner is unnamed for privacy, you can find it online though.

Excellent!

I just came across this video ... Subscribed!!! 👍

You have real treasures there that many of us would love to have. I could tell you a lot about what you have if I could see any of it. You need light behind your camera, not be hind you.

It ain’t got no gas in it😊

Fabulous place!!!

😂

Alco RS 3 ??

Gee, I wonder if the "builder's plates" were still attached to the side frames ...... just kidding.

This is the last thing we did together, my wife & I, before she died suddenly. That was 1997.

Great video. Like me!

would PRR 3750 be steamed.

Looks restorable.....

Alco RS-3.

Spray a little starter fluid in the engine, should start right up. 😂

Looks like a RS3.

Great follow up vid.

Long live #89!

Awesome video, thanks for sharing! That place looks like a lot of fun.

Trains be pogchamp.

Awesome! I got a shot similar to the first one but with Strasburg 90!

I want this Alco Rs3 for the Green Bay and Western rr club because it still has the high nose in front. Then sandblast it and painted Red 🟥 and use plexiglass panels by the diesel prime mover so people can see the 244 style engine. It is next to s dirt service road and can easily be lifted out by 3 large cranes for loading on a low-boy semi and shipped over here to Green bay!! Ok!! Wed.Dec.19.2023A.D

That is an ex Pennsylvania Railroad RS3 shame that it got even worse.

That's right in the Oaks area near King of Prussia Pennsylvania

I have the property to relocate it and place it next to the old mainline... I just need money now...

Thats an ALCO RS2 or RS3 probobly built in the late 1940's

I built a 040 Porter saddle tank loco that I run around my house. I’ve got 900’ of track. Cool little engine’s.

Those engines are from the Alan Wood Steel co. In conshohoken pa. They currently reside on station road in Oaks Pa. On what's left of the Reading Railroads Perkiomem Branch.

This is the one in oaks isn't it?

It clearly says Whitcomb on the radiator not Plymouth

The air compressor on the front is a rare thing. Also, there are two engines like this in the middle of Ohio rusting away.

I wooden know about that

A shame seeing her in this rusted condition, hopefully she gets restored one day

That's awesome!

Great video! You guys sure know your locomotives! Do you think they’ll restore it? I think it has a lot of potential. That’s back in the good, after war, EMD years when railroads first started to dieselize their locomotive fleet.

Sad To See An Old Abandoned And Stripped Locomotive Like That. It's A Wonder The PRR Left It There Instead Of Scrapping It Out...

Awesome!

This in gary?

Wow! The vultures picked it clean!! It’s a shell now!!

It was in running condition when parked. Heavy vandalism made it totally worthless, but from what I see, it appears she’s been harvested for parts to restore other ALCO RS3’s.

If you search PRR 8479 you can find pictures of this locomotive while it was still in service and also when it was parked alongside the shops in Reading, PA. You can also find the sad last few years of its history.

Is that a real steam loco?
