ERIE 2601, part of a group of three (2600-2602)... Is this the largest camelback ever built? From what I understand, this one
actually was somewhat successful (moreso than the Triplexes)

Look at the immensity of that Wootton firebox at the back! The fireman must have a darn stage back there to stand on!

Based on photos, it looks like 2600 was later equipped with a tiny D&H-style cab at the rear, but the 2601/2602 stayed as
camelbacks?

Port Jervis, NY - June 1911. Harold Vollrath collection.
