Eastern Railroad Discussion > RR Museum of PA 701?Date: 09/25/16 17:08 RR Museum of PA 701? Author: PRR-Lewistown Last year I went to the RR Museum of Pennsylvania and took some pictures. I am now organizing them on my computer and don't know which railroad owned this locomotive. Please help me identify the RR. Thanks in Advance.

This is the sort of malfeasance that turns potential donors off from opening their checkbooks--at least that's the case with me. See also L&N E6A 770. Date: 09/26/16 17:58 Re: RR Museum of PA 701? Author: Lackawanna484 Much of the initial collection came from equipment stored INSIDE at the Pennsylvania Railroad Company round house in Northumberland. I wonder if there's covered space somewhere nearby which could be used to store this valuable equipment?
Like the terrible situation at the B&O Museum, having too much equipment for the available space isn't a good thing. Date: 09/27/16 12:54 Re: RR Museum of PA 701? Author: valmont |
