6/21/52 towed, power B-7 class 0-8-0 163, through freight rate, marked on Mechanicville 11:35 AM, marked off Colonie 12:50 PM, on duty 1:15, paid $15.03 for 100 miles.
When an engine was being towed, it was necessary to have someone on board to keep the engine running so all the oil injectors worked properly. Just towing a dead engine for any distance would cause damage to the main pistons.?
