Nostalgia & History > Ivorytown QuestionDate: 12/07/25 14:30 Ivorytown Question Author: MacBeau Howard Hollem shot these two frames at the Proctor & Gamble plant of men loading barrels of glycerine into a tank car, and then the plant being switched. Was hoping a Queen City local could clarify the railroad switching the plant. Ivorytown was along both the NYC and the B&O.
Please credit Library of Congress for both images. Be of good cheer, —Mac www.lowellamrine.com   Date: 12/07/25 15:06 Re: Ivorytown Question Author: refarkas True historic photographic treasures! Photo two is an in-plant gem!
Bob Date: 12/07/25 15:34 Re: Ivorytown Question Author: ClubCar Both photos are very historical in many ways as so many plants of this type no longer exist across our country. Thanks for sharing these photos with us.

On B&O, 330 would have been a Class D-35 0-6-0, while on NYC, it would have been a Class B-6 0-6-0.
