"Trains" Magazine, December 1945 |
| Description: |
Here is an advertisement that was published originally on the back cover of the December 1945 issue of "Trains" magazine. Depicted here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6200, the S-2 (6-8-6) "Steam Turbine" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during September of 1944, rated at 6,900 horsepower, and retired in January of 1952 after just eight years of revenue service. "One of the most important changes in the power principle in the steam locomotive in over 100 years," according to this ad, "the turbine drive engine gives promise of a great future in the field of train transportation." Alas, it was a great ~ but brief ~ future! |

BLW 0-6-6-0/1 DE #2460 - Baldwin Russian Export |
| Description: |
Great Baldwin builder's photo of a very rare diesel. According to one online source, "At the end of WWII the US Armed Services ordered 30 road freight diesels for export to Russia to help rebuild the Russian railroad system. They were Baldwin's first export diesels. These 1000 hp units were powered with an 8 cylinder VO engine and rode on 5 foot gauge Commonwealth C-type trucks. This model was only built for the Russian export order and was designated Baldwin class "0-6-6-0 1000/1 DE". The Russian's called these Class Db." Before shipping, the units were lettered USA #2460-2489 but on delivery the Russians renumbered them as Db-20-71 to Db-20-100. |

| Description: |
Westing. Here is a photo that was published originally in Fred Westing's 1974 book entitled "Pennsy Steam And Semaphores," page 149. Partial Caption: "In 1921, the Southern Pacific Company ordered 50 locomotives of the 2-10-2 type. These engines were completed in 1922, and Samuel Vauclain thought this a fine opportunity to provide a demonstration of American industry. A group of twenty of these giant locomotives were, therefore, herded together to form a train that was known as the Prosperity Special." Prominent here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #121, an L-1S (2-8-2) "Mikado" built in Juniata during December 1917 and retired in February of 1958 after 41 years of faithful service. Note the railroader standing atop #121's tender! |
