It's
July 27th 1946, Jim Speer is taking photographs along the New York Central's
West Shore Division. At Tappan, NY Jim catches the Tappan Local's locomotive
number 4513 as it is being turned for the return trip to Weehawken, NJ. The
locomotive is supplying compressed air to operate the pneumatic motor
allowing this 70' turntable to be turned with ease. The NYC had 20 of these
K-11b class 4-6-2 locomotives built by Alco in 1912. This K-11b's original
number was 3113 and became 4513 in 1936. By the time of this photo there
were only 15 of this class still in service and their numbers would dwindle
with the last engines being scrapped in 1952. Note the garage to the right
of the locomotive's pilot. (see below)Beginning in 1959 this was the
residence of a very young Allan Seebach who grew up with the New York
Central's West Shore Division as his playground. Caption and photos courtesy

"NYO+W Milk Car #1034 Middletown NY 15 June '47 enthusiasts trip"
That is what is written on
this outstanding slide that O&WRHS member Paul F. Straney just donated to
the O&WRHS. To say that this was a much appreciated addition to the
archives collection would be an understatement. The actual fan trip started
at Weehawken and ran on the O&W to Kingston, and then to Port Jervis. You
can see some of the video footage of this fan trip on the O&WRHS DVD near
the beginning of the tape. For many years this milk car was used to store
records behind the Middletown depot.

O&W Linemen - Date Unknown
When I first started on the line
crew there was a man and his nephew, I think it was them 2nd and 3rd from
the left.. They were quite old at that time, for I was in my late teens.
They had cabin on a mountain near Summitville station. They would not work
winters and the both of them would get off at Summitville and go to their
cabin. They were heavy drinkers, but put away enough to get them threw the
winter. The oldest smoked a pipe and I remember seeing the nephew pass out
in the bar next to the Norwich yards, he laid straight across a bar stool.
The uncle dragged him back to the camp cars. Next day they were up raring to
go. Amazing.
Please note the "climbers" on the
nephew. I tried them and they scabbed my legs all up. I was over in
Binghamton and went to Buckingham's factory >and asked if they had pads etc.
for their climbers. I ended up with a new set plus a " floating" belt. After
that everyone wanted them. It made the climbing a lot more comfortable. John
Lotterer ( the foreman) finally talked the railroad into buying them for
their workers. The guy on the left looks like "Benny " Stevens, maintainer
at Norwich.
We all had a set or two of line
blocks. We used them to pull the slack out of the lines. Also for dead
ending wires to the pole arms. They were used quite a bit, during the many
ice storms. The lines would droop with and inch of ice on the. them.
Breaking sometimes. One time the ice on the lines was so bad between Cadosia
and Norwich, that they moved our camp cars etc. to Cadosia. There we were
outfitted into a train, slowly going north hooking the wires back together.
We came back latter and pulled up all the slack. You have to remember that
the Telegraph was a big thing then. and all the lines had to kept working. I
climbed poles with an inch of ice on them. Sometimes it would come lose and
slide down the pole..Yes line blocks were very important. They consisted of
3/8 manila rope , probably 24' in length. Two metal wheel blocks with a
rope fastener and a set of grips to grip the wires. Caption by Wm. Phelps. -

have been waiting to share it ever since.
The date is July 31, 1953. The passenger stop at Summitville provided
a good opportunity to capture the Kingston Branch yard and wye area. Two
grampuses are in the foreground (that's what they were called on the O&W and
some other RRs). Just beyond them is the dirt road to the station. Adam's
store and mill are in the background on the left, along with one of the
lumber sheds and in the distance is a boxcar and flanger. With steam
gone for five years, the rails over the ash pit have been removed. Two tired
looking work coaches sit just beyond .....Jeff

The low down wagon was invented
by John Parsons of Earlville, NY about 1887, with production commencing
sometime after that at the wagon works about 100 yards east of the depot
on the north side of West Main Street in that village.
In 1907 the works was sold to J.D. Mires. It was defunct
sometime before the outbreak of WWII. The Quincy Square Museum in
Earlville has a booklet on the history of this facility for sale in its
gift shop. Those interested can google this society for further details.
I wish I had bought a book when last there.
About all that is left of the works now is the foundations,
although most of the buildings were standing in various decay into the
1970's. The photo was taken just south of the depot and looks southeast
with the Otto Heuer creamery providing the backdrop. Later this building
was part of Conkling-Rogers and served as a coal shed. It stood until CA
1976.
John Parson's was a well known Earlville businessman who
lived until 1950. The fame of his wagon's was far and wide as the low
down step made the delivery man's job much easier. Watching vintage
footage of horse drawn milk delivery is interesting as the "driver"
normally only had to step into and out of the wagon with the appropriate
dairy order, the horse simply following along pulling the wagon like on
automatic pilot without the need for the driver to be in the cab, but
able to concentrate on delivery. Doug Ellison
Love your photo of the month! It may seem an odd
connection but the "Low Down Wagons" were made by my (Mires)
relatives. They were called Low Down because the center
was undercut and the milk man could walk right through the wagon
at street level conserving a ton of energy. There are two
branches of the Myers family with two different spellings.
Both descend from Daniel Myers (Mires) the famous Indian
fighter. Old Daniel lived at Waterloo Mills, NY and his
pension record indicates that he was "with Washington when
driven from NYC by the British". The family divided into
an upstate group (Mires) and our group (Myers). Cousin
Maynard Mires grew up in Sherburne and his father was
Veterinarian up there. A personal touch to the photo of
the month !!! Dan Myers

In August 1939, Bill Lichtenstern, Ed Hermanns
and George Votava spent a wonderful Sunday the 13th at Summitville,
photographing the activities (Am I envious? Boy Howdy!). During one lull in
the action, Bill stood on the mainline and took this shot of the Kingston Branch
end of things. Besides showing the two V-class engines laying over for the
weekend at the rudimentary engine service facility, it is a great view of the
little branch storage yard, lumber storage sheds, the two cabooses assigned to
branch service, Adam's store and mill, and the North leg of the wye.

On January 25, 1941
A.V. Neusser captured NYO&W U class 2-6-0 No 255 leading a 14 car
eastbound freight on the Middletown and Unionville Railroad to connect
with the New York Susquehanna & Western at to Hanford Jct.
The O&W and the M&U had a long relationship that included the M&U
leasing the East Main St. depot along with the track and land from there
to milepost 1.1. The NYO&M had built this 1.1 mile of track over the
Erie main line to connect the Middletown Unionville and Water Gap,
predecessor to the M&U, to the main tracks at Railroad Ave.
After the M&U
became an independent railroad on December 1, 1913 they entered into
several agreements with the O&W. All M&U locomotives were repaired and
overhauled at the AV shops and the O&W would lease a locomotive to the
M&U at a reasonable rate. Until June 4, 1883 O&W traffic traveled by the
NYS&W over the M&U&WG. After that date the Middletown branch of the West
Shore would carry the O&W traffic. The two tracks to the right are the
O&W’s south and north bound main tracks of the Middletown Branch.
In the background
over the caboose the M&U water tank is visible in DG yard. The M&U’s
locomotive at this time was the last one to be owned by the railroad old
2-8-0 No. 7 purchased from the Bellefonte Central and was in service
from June 9, 1940 to April 23, 1944. From April 24, 1944 until
July 16, 1945 the M&U leased O&W steam locomotives. From July 17, 1945
until April 19, 1946 the M&U leased NYS&W decapods. The M&U bought her
first diesel engine and it arrived on April 19, 1946 M&U No. 1, a GE 44
tonner. The Middletown & Unionville Railway, including the MU&WG and the
M&NJ, will be the theme of next years Middletown Railroad Day. Photo

Proving that railroading was
indeed a labor intensive industry at one time is this photograph taken at
the Earlville borrow pit sometime during the early years of the Twentieth
Century. No less than 24 men - and at least 5 shovels - can be seen
decorating American type Camelback #12 (Class C), a 4-wheel bobber caboose,
and the borrow pit siding. This borrow pit, which was located at milepost
242.4, was one of many parcels of land acquired by the railroad for purposes
of removing dirt to be used to fill in nearby trestles - hence the term
"borrow" pit. These were the grand years for the O&W; a time when revenue
was more abundant then at any other period in the road's history. It was
fortunate that this was so since improving and maintaining the right-of-way
helped to keep the railroad a viable concern for many more years to come.
That revenue also helped to pay the wages for all the men shown here.
Concerning the gentleman standing between the rails with hands on hips, I
can just imagine what he yelled as soon as the photographer clicked the
shutter: "BACK TO WORK!" This wonderful photograph is from the collection of
David Manzer, and was supplied by John Taibi.

Jeff Otto.
Bertha Risely was
the teacher in the Summitville school in 1957. As some
of you may know this was a two-room schoolhouse but
according to Bertha they apparently used only one of the
two rooms. Her husband was Charles Risely, an O&W
operator. When the last O&W train came through
Summitville, she brought her class out to see it go by,
and took the photo (I guess she had them turn to face
the camera at the last moment -- though she doesn't
remember). She's now 98 (or 99) and living in a nursing
home above Monticello. Editor's Note: According to Jeff some of
her students still visit her!

Car number 5280 in the background was built in the Middletown shops in
1882 to carry anthracite from Sydney to Oswego as the result of an
agreement between the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company and the newly
organized New York, Ontario & Western Railway. Plans for the car were
published in the National Car Builder in November 1882 and were
reprinted in my book, Hard Coal and Coal Cars. It had a capacity of
40,000 pounds. Car number 12802 in the foreground had a capacity of
60,000 pounds. It was built by the Lafayette Car Works in 1891 to
handle the tonnage coming out of the just completed Scranton Extension
(as it was called then). The car cost $440 when new and came equipped
with M.C.B.A. Standard automatic couplers. Cars in the all-wood 5101 to
5400 series served on the road through 1912. A number of cars in the
10001 to 14120 series were rebuilt with steel underframes from 1903
through 1911 and some remained in service through 1932. I'm afraid that
I can't date the photo. No earlier than 1903 based upon the arrival of
box car 9348 and no later than 1912 based upon the disappearance of
5280. I would guess that it's closer to the earlier date, because the
coal cars do not appear to have air brakes. The O&W had pretty much
completed the conversion of all cars to air brakes by 1907-1908.

an end cab I class Mogul, was photographed from the smokestack of
the Bendix-Scintilla plant at Sidney while in the process of
switching cars from the military supplier to the railroad's yard. In
its own way, its marching between the two places helped to keep the

Two of the NYO&W's
25-ton, hopper-bottom gondolas rest atop the wooden approach to the
Weehawken terminal in 1909. These were the first cars that the O&W
purchased to handle the tonnage of its newly opened Scranton Extension.
Fifteen hundred of these cars were built by the Michigan Car Company and
Lafayette Car Works in 1890 and 1891. They came equipped with MCBA standard
couplers and were upgraded with air brakes in the late 1890s. Following the
purchase of these cars, the O&W bought another 2,512 slightly larger
hopper-bottom gondolas rated at 30 tons capacity. An excellent resin model
of these cars is available from the Old & Weary Car Shop. Caption

RF tower at
Crawford Junction was a nine lever tower used to control the signals
and switches shown in this photograph. During the 1880's until the
1920s, the Erie Railroad ran six passenger trains, a milk train and
a local freight on the Pine Bush Branch. In this image, you can see
the beginning of the Pine Bush branch curving off to the right. The
view along the O&W is north toward Fair Oaks and the Catskills. This

There were actually two glass plates we scanned of RF
Tower. Here is the second one which was taken closer to the tower,
standing on the northbound track.
Large Format
MS (Main Street) Tower is located at Railroad Ave. This was a
28 lever mechanical interlocking that controlled nine switches along
with various signals. This permitted the Erie to use trackage rights on
O&W for 3.5 miles to RF tower at Crawford Jct. in order to access their
Pine Bush branch. In addition, this permitted the Erie, O&W and the M&U
to interchange with each other via the long crossover switch. This
switch for the long crossover is in view in the lower left of this
photograph connecting to the O&W southbound main line.
By 1932
both MS tower and RF tower were replaced by dwarf signals but the
operations essentially remained the same. They would call the O&W
dispatcher in AV depot from the M&U/ M&NJ to gain access to the O&W main
line. The Erie by this time was running only a motor car to Pine Bush
that soon would end leaving only milk and local freight to traverse this
route for the remaining time of the O&W's existence. This tower's
telegraph call letter is not to be confused with the Erie's MS Tower
that was located at Middletown Summit on the Erie main line. Caption by Doug Barberio,

Parade in MIddletown. In his e-mail he notes,
"The date may be around 1912 as the 48 star flag was
adopted July 4, 1912. "
If you look closely at the banner
in the distance it says "Ontario Hose Company -
Liberty. There is one other photo I know of showing the
NYO&W Fire Department and that is the one in the Middletown Observer showing
the Ontario Hose Company No. 5. Is this banner for the same company or was
there another company with a similar name from Liberty joining the parade?
Were
there any broadsides or special tickets for this event
showing the date?
When was Old Home Week held as noted in the writing?
Aside from posing many questions, I think this photo tells
us a great deal about the citizenry of Middletown and it's history.
They were obviously very proud of their "bravest" and it is reflected by the
throng of men and women gathered to pay tribute and show their appreciation.

I thought
that the "pose" of the two Class V 2-6-0's on the North Yard
lead at SV, in the current "Photo of the Month" looked
familiar. I ran through some images I had and came with a "Close
up" of the engines....the same two. . . .closer and from a
slightly different angle. Evidently one of the two fellows
out that day walked up closer to get a better photo. The angle
is different so's that the pole doesn't bisect the
tender......and that cuts out the farmhouse on the far
right of the image.
As I suspected, a
closer look at this engine (No. 273, at least) has it all
open and with flagstaffs in the flag holders. . . .strongly
suggesting that it's not tied up for the weekend, but
standing to the ready for a pusher assignment up to
Mamakating Tower.
It looks to be on the lead to the ash
track...........which's the far outside track on the west
side of the Kingston Branch ROW.
It always seems that
for one O&W image...........somewhere, someplace there's
always another......same time...........same place...........
Mal Houck
As is
often the case, any photo deserves a second look. When I sent
you the "close up" image of No. 273 on the ash track at SV
North Yards, I surmised that (because it was all open and
with flag staffs in place) that it was awaiting a pusher
assignment. However, once you posted it I looked and
compared the two photos: -- the Jack Farrell image and
mine, and I conclude that perhaps even something else is
going on.
In the original image from
far away, it seems that there's just ever so slightly a
hint of steam or smoke from the lead engine heading into the ash
track, indicating that at least the lead engine is under steam
and moving. Also, No. 273 is posed with "rods up."
To compare, the "close up" image I sent shows No. 273 with "Rods
down" suggesting that it's been moved between the time it was
first seen (original image) and then captured in the close up.
The relationship and positioning of the engine-tender of No. 273
seems to have changed more that just another angle of
subject to photographer implies; -- all to point even more
that the engines have been moved between photographs.
Instead of No. 273 being ready to run out on a pusher
assignment, it seems as likely that whereas the two engines are
coupled together tender to tender, No. 273 may be
suffering some mechanical difficulty and is being pulled into
the "clear." The ash track at Summitville North yard is
(was) double ended, so that the lead engine in our images
could easily uncouple and then run clear. The east west
leg of the wye is up ahead, so direction could be changed by a
run around on the wye track..........all to make one
wonder even more about what was (is) going on in the
sequence of these two photos.
As I
suggested earlier, not only is there often more than one single
image at any one time, but there can also be a "temporal" --
time related sequence to a pair of images or more! It's
all quite interesting to see that not only are photos
static posed images, but also can be a record of movement and
activity.
