 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 
 Regards - Louis
