Tirsdag havde jeg en aftale med Nathan Clark i Greenville, en god times tid nord for Pittsburgh. Sikke en morgen - regnen væltede ned i stride strømme, så der var lagt op til en fugtig dag. Jeg havde aftalt at mødes med Nate her ved Greenville Railroad Park, et lille jernbanemuseum. Museet har bl.a. et damplokomotiv fra Union Railroad udstillet. En 0-10-2 (dvs. E1) med boosterbogie på tenderen. Lokomotivet fandtes tilsvarende ved Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range, og det udstillede lokomotiv er bemalet URR på den ene side og DM&IR på den anden. Disse baner blev begge (sammen med en række andre) ejet af US Steel som led i deres transportinfrastruktur.

Tuesday I had an appointment with Nathan Clark (co-author of Bessemer & Lake Erie in Color, the book that got me interested in the Bessemer) in Greenville, a good hour north of Pittsburgh. What a morning - the rain came down bigtime, so this was going to be a wet day! Nate and I were to meet here at Greenville Railroad Park. The dominant exhibit is an ex. Union Railrad 0-10-2 with a booster truck. Similar locomotives were found on the Duluth, Missabe & Iron range, and this display is painted URR on one side and DM&IR on the other. Both roads (and others, including the Bessemer) were owned by US Steel as part of their transportation infrastructure.
