(erielack) November Trains Picture

["Paul Brezicki" <doctorpb_@_bellsouth.net>]

My guess would be a short light-engine move. I doubt that they would expend a crew to move a single loco to the scrapper; on such a trip it would be dead-in-tow. BTW, what's a 2-9-0, a decapod that's lost a wheel perhaps?  ;-)

There is a picture in the Lackawanna article on page 55 of a 2-9-0 running light across the Deleware viaduct in 1950.  I'm wondering about this picture.  Was this engine returning to the B&P after being serviced at Port Morris or was it on its way to scrapping at Scranton?  There's no way of knowing, but it is something to speculate about.
