ALCo-GE-IR CNJ #1000 BOXCAB

Oil-Electric Locomotive

(American Locomotive Company - General Electric - Ingersoll-Rand)

There are now more than fifty (50) BOXCAB pages;
see the main Boxcabs page and the Boxcabs INDEX.

IMAGE INTENSIVE PAGE!

DISASTER!

The snow load on the roof of the B&O museum caused fully one-half of the roof to collapse last night (16-17 Feb 03)!

See the CNJ #1000 page for more! (17 Feb 03)

PAGE INDEX:

This page is unindexed, except for a linked photo index; scroll away.

This site has now been visited times since the counter was installed.

Refer to the preceding CNJ #1000 page for information on the surviving
ALCo-GE-INGERSOLL-RAND BOXCAB OIL-ELECTRIC (DIESEL) LOCOMOTIVES.

This page is a special image-intensive page added 02 Aug 2002, the first of three, just to present 120 detailed photos of the 1925 ALCo-GE-IR demonstrator unit #9681 cum 1925 Central Railroad of New Jersey Boxcab Oil-Electric Locomotive #1000, which, amazingly, survives today exactly as when her engine was last shut down ca. 1956.

[Each of these three pages has a fully-linked index, with captions, to the photos on all three pages.]

Because there are so many photos and they are so big, here is a linked index, with captions:

There is similar detailed photo coverage of the only remaining twin-engined (108-ton, 600HP) AGEIR boxcab, the Foley Bros. #110-1, out at the Portola Railroad Museum in Portola, California, 'way up over Donner Pass in the High Sierras, near Lake Tahoe, Nevada. The Museum is operated by the Feather River Rail Society, a group primarily devoted to the Western Pacific RR.

I also did not want to cut down on the resolution or have pop-up ads, so these and the Foley Bros. #110-1 detail photos are costing me dearly in storage space and money! You'd BETTER enjoy all this, which took me several days to scan and load!

- my conventions for these photos are that the front of the loco is the "F" or "1" end and the rear is the "2" end, so the "right" side is the "A" side or right looking from "2" to "F"/"1" and the "left" side is the "B" side or left looking from "2" to "F"/"1"; I will relabel any incorrect captions; please let me know if you spot any errors.

This is the first "third" of some 120 photos; it continues on Photo page 1 with the second "third" (photos 214-224, 301-327, and 401-402)! Whew!

It's interesting (and embarassing) to note that the brake wheel is at the back (see #108, above, and 19 Jul 2001 shots inside rear cab (to follow) and thus that the stacks are offset to the back!

I left in some that are basically near-duplicates and others of poor quality just in case some detail shows that matters to someone, somewhere.

By special permission of the Museum, I was allowed to take these detailed photographs of #1000 and its surrounds inside the Museum (on 09 Jun 99 and again on 19 Jul 01) for the benefit of those who care but can not get to the B&O Museum (or others around the country with surviving early boxcabs or model boxcabs).

To tour the Boxcabs pages in sequence, the arrows take you from the previous page to the Boxcabs index), to the first Boxcabs page, and on to continuation pages 3 and up, then 100-tonner LIRR #401 and her sisters, survivor boxcabs (with map) and survivor notes, survivor CNJ #1000 (the very first), Ingersoll-Rand boxcabs (with instruction manual), other (non-ALCo/GE/I-R) boxcabs, Baldwin-Westinghouse boxcabs, odd boxcabs, and finally model boxcabs.

I deliberately have NOT included this page in this tour; it is so image-intensive that you should only have come here or go to the next CNJ #1000 photo page intentionally by clicking HERE!
