Lehigh & Hudson River Railway Baldwin (built 1944) 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotive 12 leads a southbound freight train past a tower protecting the New York, Ontario & Western diamond at Campbell Hall, New York, late 1940's
Lehigh & Hudson River Railway Baldwin (built 1944) 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotive 12 leads a southbound freight train past a tower protecting the New York, Ontario & Western diamond at Campbell Hall, New York, late 1940's. During WWII, when the L&HR Railway required new and powerful locomotives they went to Baldwin and ordered 3 copies of the Boston & Maine R1-d class 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotives, numbered 10-12. Check out that large Centipede tender supplied with the locomotive. You can also clearly see the engineer in his cab window when you click on the photo to enlarge. These locomotives only lasted in service for six years because the L&HR then diselized in 1950 and these rather new steam locomotives became redundant.
