Data from Schenectady Locomotive Works, Illustrated Catalogue of Simple and Compound Locomotives (Philadelphia: J B Lippincott, 1897), pp. 113-117. Works numbers were 4184
4185 in November 1893.
Tom Taber reported the CRP emerged from the merger of Central Pennsylvania Railroad and its eastern extension in 1892-1893. When this pair of Twelve-wheelers arrived on the CRP shortly thereafter, they followed the general lines of the Mastodon type in its early stages. In fact, Schenectady's production line continued with several more class H-1s for New York Central subsidiary Beech Creek, Clearfield & Western(Locobase 5289).
The 4 and 5 hauled iron ore along the 27.3 miles from the Bellefonte reserves to the New York Central Railroad. Not long after they entered service, however, the Mesabi iron range in Minnesota easily eclipsed the Pennsylvania mines and the railroad quickly faded.
