Boston & Albany J-2a class 4-6-4 Hudson steam locomotive 602 with its eastbound 10 car passenger train 22 (The Lake Shore Limited) is seen arriving at the station in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, 07-04-1939. This train is head end equipment heavy. It is interesting in that the J-2a,b,c class Hudson steam locomotives were equipped with 75 inch drivers as compared to most other NYC Hudson's which had 79 inch drivers, all because they needed to develop additional tractive effort due to the terrain profile of the B&A main line route.
