You guys
shouldn't have turned me on; you're going to pay for
it now! Attached is the Orton & Steinbrenner ad
featuring the 204614, and as you can see, it was still
running in Railway Age as late as the end of 1923, though
the pile driver shown had been built in 1912. Following
will be a series of color shots I took at Trinidad, Colo.,
on March 29, 1968, shortly after the pile driver outfit had
been repainted and renumbered as C&S 99104.
Interesting that both tenders were given the number 99104,
too. And the data sheet I posted yesterday incorrectly
shows the renumbering of the boom car to C&S 99321, when
my photo clearly shows it to be 99331. After that will
come two of about 10 slides I was given showing the 99104 at
work on bridge 178.39 near Chugwater, Wyo., on Nov. 15,
1978. Note that by this time the 99104 has a new tender,
also a former Q S-1 or S-2 oil-burner tank, and it's
numbered 99525. Finally, a shot of what remained of the
99104 back home at Trinidad in August 1980 as it was being
cut up. Nice of them to leave the last three digits of the
number intact so it could be positively identified.

I can
tell you that 204614 is an Orton piledriver purchased in
the teen's. I have picture of it from an old 1920 M of W
Cyclopedia. It was the Galesburg piledriver for many years.
I have a large collection of company service equipment
photographs. Look for a BRHS calendar featuring them in the
near future.

Group - The Erie ditcher shown in Duncan's earlier
post spurred me to check
through my digital collection of Q maintenance of way (MOW)
images. Since we've
lately been enjoying a banquet of wonderful steam power
images thanks to Hol,
why not some of MOW equipment, too.
I'm attaching a classic MOW image dated August
14, 1931 of steam
pile driver No. 204614 with Bridge & Building Gang No. 1
at work on a
timber trestle near Galesburg, IL. Does anyone recognize
the exact
location? The official at center wearing a tie and straw hat
is the probably
the Division Engineer.
I'm a little surprised that the pile driver's
tender with water and
coal supply is not coupled to it. The tender and camp cars
must be on a nearby
siding as the pile driver would've been self propelled.
I'd enjoy seeing
any other Q MOW equipment images that any other Group
members would like to
share.
We can include steam shovels, pile drivers, wrecking
derricks, bridge
cranes, spreaders, ditchers, hand pump or motor cars, camp
cars, track laborers,
weed sprayers, construction scenes, whatever kind of
machinery or equipment that
the Q and its subsidiaries used to construct and
maintain their
right-of-ways from the Civil War era forward to the BN
merger.
I'm sure that some of the MOW experts in this Group
can better interpret
my and other's old images than I can. Let's all
learn and share
what we can from images depicting the Q's MOW
equipment and practices.
Personally, I spent two college summers on a Q steel gang in
the mid-1960s. Best
