Steam & Excursion > The return of the "Whose Am I" - Luken #10

Impossible - hardly. I thought it would be when I took the image(s)
but now I'm thinking there are just way too many clues if you know
what to look for.

Good luck - enjoy!

I'll keep enlarging as needed - we'll start with one sole wheel.

Very close, but no cigar.

And now that the guessing has begun
I've come to realize, I do not know
whose they were. I know whose they
are now and which company originally
operated the engine back in 1911.

So - whose are they, now?

And whose were they, then?

Jeff - I think I have a new engine
for you to add to Steamlocomotive.info!

It is now free to enter and I'm doubling the cash prize.

Here's another clue:

It was once used in Alabama but was brought to Pennsylvania strictly
with the intent of display....

Anyone?

Jeff? John? Martin??

/Mitch

So,,,,how do you turn off the air conditioning?

Larry Dodgion
Wilsonville, OR

Bueller? Craft? Jeff Terry... ?

I'll post the full profile pic Monday but
quadruple the original cash prize for any
one who gets it sooner.

I'll go with...

(Gotta love Google...)

We have a winner! Now just how did you Google it?

Lukens Steel Company narrow gauge 0-4-0T #10

Originally owned and ran by the Florida Paint and Turpentine
Company located operating in Decature, Alabama. Lukens originally
purchased two HK Porters in 1902 but had since scrapped them.
"#10" was found and brought to PA for restoration by Lukens
and later donated to the Lukens National Historic District in
Coatsville, PA - about one block from the Amtrak /SEPTA viaduct.

So - anyone have further details?

Which of FP&TC engines (by locomotive #) did the wheels belong to?

When was it moved to PA?

Along with 4 narrow gauge cars on display at the Lukens National Historic District
and adjacent to Lukens Steel Company.


More info here - including pics (before and after):

Bethlehem Steel eventually bought Lukens in 1997 though in
2003, International Steel Group Inc bought Bethlehem. The
following year ISG was bought out by Mittal Steel. In 2006
Mittal Steel and Arcelor merged to make a steel company three
times the size of any other steel company.

ArcelorMittal was created by the takeover of Western European steel
maker Arcelor by India-based multinational steel maker Mittal Steel
in 2006. Sigh. ArcelorMittal is now headquartered in Luxembourg.

I googled "pa 0-4-0 alabama" and it was the third result. :)

I knew it was a Porter in PA.
