Nice photo! This unit looks kind of funny with the truck mirrors on it for sure.

Hope the completely restore this and get it in running condition again. It would be a welcome addition to the other restored Pennsy E8A which is now making its excursion rounds.

Send it to Bennett Levin at Juniata Terminal in Philadelphia. He and his son, Erik, will have it gleaming in no time at all (http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=206604&nseq=0). Sad to see its present condition but hopeful that it will soon be restored.

This is a running unit that does pull short excersions, and the paint job is about half done. Hopefully one day they will get the money together to get the old number five steam engine fired up again.
