Coal Co. Office / Erie Office here in Dunmore , Pa. Bill told me the photo was taken in 1920 and belonged to his late father . The Loco needed repairs and repainting , so it was towed from Ararat Mountain near Uniondale to the Dunmore shops across from my house , the roundhouse sat across from my home , I remember it burned down in 1969 / 1970 . I have a load of the bricks from the roundhouse after it burned .

I am First Vice President of the Dunmore Historical Society and have been gathering information on the PCC Gravity as well as the E W V / Erie RR's for more than 45 years . I have a few original maps from 1869 and up and access to many many more from a private collection . If I can be of any help please e-mail me at [email protected].

Glad to be part of the group ,

Tony
