Hol - Thanks for sharing the image of 590's smashed tender. The locomotive
that's shoved into the tender looks to be a Class P-2 4-4-2 type. I can't recall
having seen a broadside image of a Q 0-10-0 other than in the Corbin book. If
you have a copy of the Seneca coal chute with an 0-10-0 image, could you please
share? The Class L-1 locomotives were certainly an odd looking beast and
probably not a successful design as only three were constructed. They must've
carried two firemen to keep them hot. Interesting to know the 0-10-0s did
venture far west of Pattsmouth. Perhaps, an article on these
"orphan" helper locomotives might be a subject for a future article in
one of the BRHS publications. Best Regards - Louis

I checked the weekly Alliance Herald for October 26 and
November 2, 1905, because as a division point the paper carried a great deal
of railroad news, even a Deadwood RR news section. And, not
surprisingly, there's not a word about Indians on the warpath or anything even
vaguely related. The order, however, is still quite interesting, as it
clearly shows that L-1 590 was in helper service on Orella Hill.
The original assignments of the 0-10-0s included one based at Edgemont and
used as a pusher on Orella Hill, another based at Newcastle, Wyo., and
used as a pusher on the coal branch up to Cambria, and the third based at
Plattsmouth and used as a pusher out of the Missouri River bottoms
there. The engines rotated, so the same one was not always at the same
location. And a photo showing one of them at the Seneca, Neb., coal
chute is believed to be an engine being moved to or from the shops at
Plattsmouth. ; The attached postcard view shows the 590's tender after
it was rear-ended at Plattsmouth in 1907. Hol

Ardmore, SD is located on the Lincoln-Sheridan-Billings
line between Crawford, NE and Edgemont, SD.
It is my opinion that the
operator was powerful thirsty and just wanted to go get a beer at the local
establishment (Ardmore wasn't and isn't much) . So he made up some tale of
Injuns and told the dispatcher he had to leave in a hurry :-)
