Chesapeake Beach Railway #1 idles with a passenger train at the District Line Station in Seat Pleasant, Maryland, on May 23, 1913.
Title:  Chesapeake Beach Railway #1 idles with a passenger train at the District Line Station in Seat Pleasant, Maryland, on May 23, 1913.
Description:  Built by the Pennsylvania Railroad's Altoona Machine Shops in May of 1888 with construction number #1277, old #1 started life working for the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad subsidiary of the Pennsylvania Railroad as their #119. Identified as a class D-7a by the PRR's management, the locomotive was consolidated into the Pennsylvania Railroads official roster in 1903 after the company decided to merge several subsidiaries including the PW&B. Numbered #5119 while working on the Pennsy, the locomotive was only owned by the company for about four years until the engine was sold to the Chesapeake Beach Railway in July of 1907. After delivery to the Chesapeake Beach, the locomotive was repainted and repaired at the Seat Pleasant shops and given the name Teddy along with the number #1. My theory on why the locomotive received that name is that the president of the road at the time of the engines purchase, Otto Mears, was originally from Colorado and lived in and around the San Juan Mountains of Southern Colorado. Guess who was known as the hero of San Juan Hill? None other than the 26th President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt. (I know that San Juan Hill is in Cuba and the San Juan Mountains are in Colorado. Remember, just a theory.) Unfortunately, after the departure of Mears, the new management decided against continuing the tradition of naming locomotives, and so in about 1910, the name was removed with only the number (#1) remaining as shown in this 1913 photograph. Interestingly, even though the locomotive was purchased during the first decade of operation, the Chesapeake Beach had actually owned a previous locomotive numbered #1. This locomotive was inherited from the failed ventures of the Washington & Chesapeake Beach Railway which never actually ran a single train. Not much is known about this locomotive other than it was listed on the June 30, 1900, ICC Equipment Report. #1 served the railroad pulling passengers trains between the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad's Hyattsville, Maryland, station and the CB's own station in Chesapeake Beach, Maryland, into the late teens and maybe even as late as 1924 until it was retired and scrapped. This photograph shows old #1 at the District Line Station in Seat Pleasant, Maryland, where the railroad interchanged passengers with the Washington Railway & Electric Company and the Washington, Baltimore & Annapolis Electric Railway. This allowed an individual to travel from Baltimore all the way to Chesapeake Beach and only have to walk a few steps. This interchange was possible until both the CB and WB&A quit in 1935 due to the increasing demand and support of the personal automobile.

Chesapeake Beach Railway #3
Title:  Chesapeake Beach Railway #3
Description:  Built by the Pennsylvania Railroad's Altoona Machine Shops in June of 1887 with construction number #1150, #3 was the oldest of the EX: Pennsy 4-4-0s purchased by the Chesapeake Beach Railway between 1907 and 1910. Like Old #1, #3 started life working on the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad as their #116. After the absorption of the PW&B into the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1903, the locomotive was renumbered #5116 and classified as a D-7a on the official PRR roster. With the arrival of new, more powerful locomotives in the early teens, Pennsy management agreed to sell #5116 to the Chesapeake Beach Railway and in July of 1910, the engine was official purchased by the CB. Surprisingly, this locomotive wasn't actually the first engine numbered #3 on the Chesapeake Beach roster. The 1st #3 was originally purchased new from the Pittsburgh Locomotive & Car Works but was transferred to the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific Railway and numbered #390. I use the word transferred because at that point in time, both the Chesapeake Beach and the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific Railway were owned by the same people. Specifically, the estate of David H. Moffat of Denver, Rio Grande & Western Railroad fame. By the early 1920's, #3 was starting to show some wear and tear and was parked in the deadline at the Seat Pleasant, Maryland, shops until it could be disposed. Finally in the mid 1920's, the locomotive was officially retired and scrapped. This photograph shows #3 in the deadline at the Seat Pleasant Shops shortly before the engine was scrapped.

Description:  Westing. Here is a photo that was published originally in Fred Westing's 1974 book entitled "Pennsy Steam And Semaphores," page 21. Photo Caption: "A doubleheader of two Americans climbing around the Horseshoe Curve as they work their westbound train. Railroad was still only double-tracked at this point. Leading engine was No. 134, class D16a, built at Juniata in 1897." Prominent here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #134, a D-16A (4-4-0) "American" built in Juniata as a D-16A during 1897, rebuilt as a D-16 in May of 1903, and renumbered 0134 in 1917. Note the coke ovens at the far left. Given that this locomotive was built in 1897, and given that the third track around the Curve was hewn out of Kittanning Point just one year later, this photo must have been taken sometime during either 1897 or 1898.
