| Post subject: | Baldwin Vauclain Compound |
steamlocomotive.info recently acquired a photo of a 4-cylinder, Baldwin Vauclain compound 2-8-0 which is on display at the Imperial Palace in Changchun, Jilin Province, China.  The story of how it came to be displayed is interesting and can be read at http://www.steamlocomotive.info/blogs/index.php |

So does WP&Y 2-8-0 #57 at Minto Park, Dawson City, YT, Canada. These five, and now the Baldwin in China; are the only known unrebuilt Vauclain compounds still remaining. -James Hefner Hebrews 10:20a |
