Heyo, Welcome to my silly account!
I make silly doodles of trains, the occasional sentient evil TV, and make crummy memes.

The mass rebuilding also introduced a larger sand dome, the installation of Automatic Train Control (ATC), and steam heat lines.

This brought the heavy mike fleet up to dual service standards, and they were seen both powering freight and passengers until retirement in 1958. (Part 4)

In 1934, the PH&E did mass shopping on the MK-4's, and subsequently re-equipped them with coil type feed water heaters instead of the previous bundle.

The coil was a better overall design, with only two coils instead of fifteen bundles. They were easier to wash and service. (Part 3)

However, with about a decade of service under their belts, the MK-4's were getting a bit long in the tooth for the PH&E in terms of cost.

The Elesco bundle, while international, had some serious design limitations such as fragile internals and mineral scale. Something needed to change. (Part 2)
