Harriman Locomotives

[glennk28]

In your search, look for "Harriman Common Standard" locomotives and cars.  SP, UP, Chicago & Alton, were the main "Harriman" locos--and the name does refer to Edward.  I think the feds broke up the Harriman lines around 1913, which accounts to that date after EH> died.  Cab style, headlight style and position, types of appliances such as Worthington BL feedwater heaters, Vanderbilt tenders, style of pilot, all contribute to the "family appearance.  Passenger cars were characterized by an arch roof rather than the more common clerestory roof.  Even the 1923 Pullman built commute cars found on many short lines and tourist roads are known as "Harrimans" since they were built to the earlier Common Strandard design.  gj

Glenn,

A search for "Harriman Common Standard" got me what I needed.  The SP Historical Society has diagram reprints for Harriman passenger cars.

Reprints for tenders:

The search also found many sites with excellent pictures and documentation, including the Harriman Consolidation 2-8-0.

Thanks
