I give them an own topic.
Jeff,
yes you absolutely right Saginaw #2 and Polson #70 were always saturated slide valve
nowadays called 70ton (Baldwin never used this description) 12-30-1/4-E logging mikados.
Man what I would like to see them doublehead a string of 30+ period (1920s) original Boxcars...
Dreaming....
But I wondering that you spread the rumor about that #70 is a copy of #2.
I hear this year after year even before #2 get back west.
Even told by some very influencing people around the community it make it not more true.
Polson copied their OWN Mikado #101 build in 1912!
Both were influenced by the Peninsular #9 from 1910 and almost identical copies to
Twin Falls Logging #102/103 from Jan 1912.
What made the #70 scientific in Baldwin history more interesting is the numbering fact.
Line Number 39 put it in 1915/16. Construction number is the actually date made in 1922.
My guess is that Polson contracted that engine in 1915 so far that Baldwin spent a line number,
then even the War or Polson economics delayed the actual manufacturing until 1922.
Just a guess.
