RDG 4-6-2 #178  Contributor's Pick!       
In an almost a dreamlike quality of a bygone action shot, this 1926 Baldwin Pacific is barreling along with a string of varnish in 1939. On the back the unknown photographer wrote "Train 628 "The Seven o"Klocker". Specifics - tall 80" drivers, 230 psi boiler pressure, 25"x28" cylinders, engine weight of 306,360 lb, tractive effort of 42,766 lb.

Dave Korhammer General Nice shot. "the Seven o'Klocker" ran Jersey City-Phila. (BTW, is that an air horn tucked under the left cylinder's delivery pipe?!) 5/27/2014 7:08:13 PM
