New sand tower, Fresh engine, Both in Orange, P&OC
Author: EH49

Pittsburgh & Ohio Central has recieved their first Orange engine actually lettered for them, 1711, a former OC unit. OC 1402 has been there a few years now in Orange, but, it is lettered for OC. This morning 1711 was parked under their new sanding tower at the McKees Rocks, Pa. facility this morning.

If it does make it out to Arden, see if you can get the guys from the trolley museum get Pittsburgh Railways PCC 1711 out and pose it for photos along side. Would make for an interesting photograph.
