Erie's Camels

 #61785  by scottychaos
 
apparently the Erie owned 2 of the Ross Winans "Camels",
back in the 1850's.
they were 6' gauge, woodburners, and had a interesting very elongated cab.

anyone ever hear anymore about these engines?
any other photos exist anywhere?
here is more about the "Camel" type in general:
