Cornwall 122 hauling "R&C Coal" for interchange at Mount Hope, Pa.
The photo above shows a Cornwall Railroad locomotive from 1961. It shows a model I built in 2004. I plan on posting information on my modeling efforts in 1:87 scale (HO) on the Cornwall Railroad. 

The Cornwall Railroad was a Pennsylvania short line that ran from Lebanon to Mount Hope. It interchanged with the Reading and Pennsylvania Railroads. It's main purpose was to haul raw iron ore from the mines in Cornwall to Lebanon where it was processed. The refined ore was shipped to Bethlehem Steel Furnaces. The Cornwall Railroad operated from 1850 until 1964.  

Here are some photos of my Cornwall Railroad 122 model:
