Description:
In an ironic twist, this 1926 Baldwin built Mountain-type locomotive is ouble heading through Lima,OH, the home of the competing Lima Locomotive Works. Bert Pennypacker's 2-part account of these exceptional Mountains in Trains magazine (Oct & Nov, 1979) when they entered service: "The engines ran superbly, were not difficult to fire, and were easy on coal and water. They steamed so well, in fact, that no engineman was ever known to have complained about low steam pressure. But they were dirty hogs to run ..." BTW, note the "strongarm" switch control rods in the foreground.A Max Miller photo.

Description:
Here is the Baldwin example of the 4-8-2 "Mountain" type locomotive. Similar to its Lima built sister, this 1925 M1 class loco also had 72" drivers, could generate 250 psi boiler pressure for it 27 x 30 cylinders and could apply a tractive effort of 64,550 lbs. One significant difference is it tipped the scales a little heavier - 385,000 pounds. No photographer listed - definitely a reprint from a negative. The date is approximate
