Nice older photo of the remains of BAR #68 after a boiler explosion some time in 1895. Specs - D-1 class, 63" drivers, 180 psi boiler pressure, 20x26" cylinders, engine weight of 144,500 lb, tractive effort of 25,257 lb.

BAR Snow Plow #6

Fascinating older photo dated 2/8/1895 printed on Kodak Velox paper of the Bangor & Aroostook snow plow #6. Can't quite make out the road numbers of the steam locomotives standing behind the plow. No photographer listed. Since this data base won't accept dates beyond 1900, it has been arbitrarily listed as 1/1/1900.
