1954 - North 5th Street
This 35mm negative was acquired off eBay in 2011 with
a negative of #12 of the same date.
Therefore I came to a conclusion that Steve Meyers and Bradford Stiles
were at this location at the same time taking photos and
I contacted Dave who fortunately is in frequent
contact with Steve Meyers, so I can see if
my hypothesis was correct.
Here is the reply from Steve via Dave:
"Gosh, I
haven't heard Brad's name since the first time I left New York in
mid-1957. Brad and I were two thirds of a close trio of railfans who
spent many years either singly, or as a duo or as a full group
wandering around the metropolitan area taking (mostly) electric railway
pix. Once we heard that the BEDT was considering diesels, we spent many
Saturdays around Kent Avenue before the steam operation ended..
Incidentally
the guy off to the side of the mentioned photograph was probably the
late Will V. (Bill) Faxon, the third photographer of the group. He died
many years after Brad."

In the photos dated 1955
below:
Note silver tires, running boards cab bottom, front footboards
& poling pockets.
Judging from "polished" appearance, it appears #16 was recently shopped.
We know for fact #16 was shopped in 1963 and 1959.
If locos were shopped every four years per Interstate Commerce
Commission regulations;
#16 would have been shopped around 1955 and 1951 as well. Photos of #10 around 1952
show bright tires and running boards as well.

BEDT Maintenance
Records reflect that #16 received flues, lagging, hydrostatic test and
23B on March 1, 1962. As Interstate Commerce Commission
regulations require inspections and maintenance every four years, it
would make sense that #16 would be shopped four years prior in 1958. As
the bottom of the saddletank is still round in the second photo below,
it is believed the locomotive was
overhauled in late 1958 or early 1959, and at this time the square
bottoms on the saddletank were welded on.
The following two
images are believed to be from that "shopping":

September 1960 - Loco on 5B Lead
with North 5th Street (between Wythe & Berry).
Engineer is Tom Conroy. Note brakeman on roof of
first reefer. Most likely this cut of already unloaded reefer
cars is coming
from the meatpackers siding (5C8) and are being
prepared for loading onto a carfloat. The
loco will pull the cut of cars west
across Kent Avenue, uncouple and run around the cut of cars
on 5A2, coming out on the east end
of the cut of cars,
then reversing direction, coupling back up and pushing the cars
onto a carfloat.
The brakeman would set the handbrake before uncoupling,
to prevent the cars from rolling downhill.

North 4th Street ("the tunnel")
Ron Ziel relates that
the crew of #16 had to find the drivers of the cars on the right side
of the images,
as they parked illegally on the tracks. It took about 30 minutes to
locate all the owners to get them to move their cars.
