> What was the construction number, date, and > additional details of the last steam > locomotive Baldwin built? I can't give youy the number of the last Baldwin steam locomitive which I believe was exported to India about 1953, but the last steam locomotive built for a US railroad was C&O 2-6-6-2 #1309. She was delivered in July, 1949, but she and her ten sisters were based on a 1910 design. In any event, you can see #1309 when the B&O Museum reopens. kevin.r.gillespie@verizon.net |

> What was the construction number, date, and > additional details of the last steam > locomotive Baldwin built? The last steam locomotives built by Baldwin were c/ns 76039-76088, all 2-8-2s, 21X22 inch cylinders, 61-1/2 inch diameter drivers, built in 1955 for the Government of India road numbers 9100-9149. From the dimensions, I am certain that these were broad gauge (5'6"). As an aside, the next to the last steam order was c/ns 75584-75590, all 2-8-0s for the Ecuadorian State Railways. Some of these still exist. The final Baldwin for use in the US was c/n 75503, a 2-8-0 for the Army as their No. 610, now at TVRM. I would note that the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society publishes builders lists of virtually all U.S. manufacturers of steam locomotives (cheap too). J.David jdconrad@snet.net |

I didn't have cylinder and driver size, I appreciate the additional info. > As an aside, the next to the last steam > order was c/ns 75584-75590, all 2-8-0s for > the Ecuadorian State Railways. Some of these > still exist. That order would have been the last narrow gauge locomotives built; they are 42" Do you have additional data on those too? My data show that 75590 R# 58 was rebuilt in 1981 > The final Baldwin for use in the US was c/n > 75503, a 2-8-0 for the Army as their No. > 610, now at TVRM. TV?

I'm way the heck up in the Yukon and finding data can be difficult. I now have a complete Baldwin list from the early 30s and want to look at ALCO next. I'm researching the production of narrow gauge 2-8-2 MacArthurs which were built in 1000mm, 36" and 42" all with the same components from the same basic design. Mike mike211@yknet.ca |

Greetings to Mike, David and all: The URL for the R&LHS is http://www.rrhistorical-2.com/rlhs/ or click on the link at the bottom of this message. To get the contact info and snail-mail address for the rosters, scroll down to "Locomotive Rosters & Records of Builder's Construction Numbers." BTW, WP&Y #73 is a very nice and quite late Baldwin steamer, too! Dan Cupper Harrisburg, Pa. R&LHS home page cupper@att.net |

Paper records are nice, but, does anyone have ALCO data already in spreadsheet format? Yes #73 is. Here she is in Carcross Yukon last summer, fresh from the shops after a major refit. WP&YR wanted to order more 70 series in 1950 but Baldwin couldn't/wouldn't build any more so the WP&YR had to get diesels :<{  mike211@yknet.ca |

another candidate that has been suggested for the last steam engine built for the US is a little, I think H.K. Porter 0-4-0 built for the St Elizabeth Hospital in Washington, DC. Mostly used to supply the coal fired heating plant. She is or was on display at the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore. Ted Miles ted_miles@nps.gov |

Ah Steve, Colour pictures of a black engine... Looks like you've upstaged me again. Guess I'll have to try a roll of Kodachrome one of these days and move into the 20th century. But that means I'd have to use an exposure meter. Oh well, pass the Anscopan please :) that other Chattanooga website mail@steamvalley.com |

> Colour pictures of a black engine... Looks > like you've upstaged me again. Age before beauty, John! There is no possible way I can upstage you there. Anyway, I bet you shot most of the SinV photos in color and they were just duped in monocromatic form by the publisher?!? more non-mono photos sfreer@tvrail.com |

It depended on what Walmart had on sale due to old expiration date. that other Chattanooga website mail@steamvalley.com |
