Louis and Hol,

Thank you for your assistance with 0-6-2 tank engines.  It is hard to believe that there aren't more photos as it operated for a relatively long time on a very heavily-traveled route.  For quite awhile, I questioned its existence due to the lack of any visual evidence.  I have a "liberally" modified 0-6-2-T in S scale that could be argued for its prototypical shortcomings, but who would be the wiser?  Thanks again.

Keith Erhart

Kieth - I received your earlier Email and I've been slow to answer back.  My apologies.  Even with some 30,000 images now in the BRHS Flickr archive, all we have is a "dark" copy of the L.W. Griffith image showing No. 500 at Downers Grove, IL, in 1901, the same image that appears in the Corbin Book.  I've attached.
 
Perhaps, another Group member has image(s) of the unique Class I-1 suburban tank 0-6-2T's that they could share with us.  Seeing as the class was in existence for about 20 years, you'd think that other images would still be out there in some album or photo collection. Wish we could be of more assistance to you - Louis

Thank you for all your efforts in organizing that many photos and also to the many members for sharing their photo collections.  I was looking in Corbin's Steam Locomotives of the Burlington Route.  On page 73, there is a photo of a Class I-1 0-6-2 tank engine used in suburban service.  I couldn't find any other photos in the BRHS Members Only Flickr section.  Does anyone know if there are any photos of this class in Flickr?  Thanks again and Happy New Year.

All - The BRHS/Flickr Team is proud to announce that over 30,000 Burlington Route images are now available to BRHS members via the Members Only Portal at burlingtonroute.org for viewing and downloading.

 

The 30,000th image shows Class R-5 2-6-2 type No. 2159 powering a work train in the middle of Suburban Territory at Hinsdale, IL, on May 13, 1944. This image is particularly interesting as it shows an ancient Jordan plow, two steam ditchers, air dump cars positioned on each end of the ditchers, a water tender tucked between the air dump cars along with a way car bringing-up the rear end. No. 2159, constructed at Brooks in 1907, had only three more years left as it was sold for scrap in May 1947.

 

The Flickr site's purpose is to collect and document as many images as possible of the Burlington Route, its subsidiaries and predecessor roads for placing in an easy-to-use central archive for BRHS members to learn from and enjoy. Happy New Year - The BRHS/Flickr Team
