Railways of the Americas

A motley collection of some images taken by me on a couple of stopovers enroute to the UK, together with some images sent to me by email correspondents. More recently, these have been augmented during a six week visit to Canada, visiting both the west and east coasts.

Roaring Camp and Big Trees Railroad

Some comments on these images. On a trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco, I chanced upon this small re-established logging line, with this then-derelict Climax waiting around in the yard for restoration. It was the middle of January, and there was no one around, so I wasn't able to get much in the way of detail for this loco.

Since publishing these on the web, four kind correspondents have written to me with information about the place. Here's what John Haskey (johnh@@cisco.com) said (13 Oct 1999):

The three photos (below) were taken outside the engine house of the Roaring Camp and Big Trees Narrow Gauge Railroad in Felton, CA. Felton is about 75 miles south of San Francisco and about 7.5 miles north of Santa Cruz.

The railroad was founded in the late 1950's on property which had never been logged nor had a railroad. The company also owns the remains of the ex South Pacific Coast, ex Southern Pacific branch line from Los Gatos to Santa Cruz. This line (its remains) is now known as the Santa Cruz, Big Trees, & Pacific (standard gauge) and excursion trains are run during the summer.

The RCBTNGRR currently has three operational engines, a two-truck shay, a three-truck shay, and a two-truck heisler. In addition to the climax you photographed there is an 0-4-2T locomotive undergoing restoration and a two-truck shay waiting for restoration. They own three narrow gauge diesels (two are operational).

Since your photos were taken, the boiler was removed from the climax. It looks very sad today. There is a web site at www.roaringcamprr.com but it is very tourist related and doesn't really have any railfan info. I live in the area and have spent many happy hours there....

Most recently (20020408) Roy Blaine said that he lived about 10 minutes drive from Roaring Camp, and that "they are still there and a lot of fun"! Thanks for that update, Roy! (Roy is also a Hudson and Garratt fan, so I referred him to the R class Hudsons and 60 class Garratts ...)

Chesapeake & Ohio

4-6-4 "Hudson"

  • Image : dir=usa/ page=index 70570 bytes, 1003x675 pixels
  • Date : unknown date (added to collection 17 Jul 1999)
  • Photographer : unknown
  • Medium : Eric Thur, electronic image
  • Description : According to the Baltimore & Ohio Museum in Maryland, this is a C&O Yellowbelly . It is described as "the sole surviving streamlined (shrouded) Hudson", but whether that means the sole surviving Hudson of any form (from the C&O), or just the streamlined form, is not clear to me.


H-8 class 2-6-6-6 "Allegheny"

Derick Cullen writes a postscript on these images, which, in my peevish way, I'll use as a foreword:

The H8 pictured here is at Mt. Clare B&O museum in Baltimore, Md. (was headquarters of B&O mechanical dept.from 1830s). C&O and B&O merged (together with others such as my favorite and lamented Wild Mary) to form CSX corp. Since then there have been a number of "foreign" C&O exhibits in Mt. Clare. This dilutes the B&O ambience IMHO, despite the capitol-like dome over the roundhouse, and the feeling of walking on hallowed ground (here worked Tom Cooper, John Davis, Ross Winans without precedent to create railways as we know them).

Good coverage of both C&O H8 and N&W Class A is in "The World's Greatest Mallets" by Eugene L. Huddleston (C&O Historical Society 1986) IBSN 0-939487-08-X. I bought mine in Washington so don't know about availability in Oz libraries etc. Might be available from C&O HS website shop.

Ol' 'Gene suggested C&O didn't use H8s properly (i.e. not suited for pooled drag service in the hills) and so did not realise full potential. Operational record of Class A seems a whole lot better than H8 despite most nominal specifications in favour of H8. Virginan operated H8 copies effectively. VGN usage parallel to N&W Class A over flat coastal division (Dismal Swamp division!) from Blue Ridge mountains to Newport in southern Va.

Northwest Railway Museum

I have visited this railway museum a couple of times, but last year, thanks to my daughter-in-law, I was fortunate enough to be given a ride on the train as a 71st birthday present! So here are some photos from Snoqualmie and the Northwest Railway Museum.

  • Photographer : John Hurst
  • Medium : digital camera (Canon REBEL T3i), image location 20180519-102715
  • Description : Baldwin compound Mallet 2-6-6-2 No. 5970 built 1926, originally for the Ostrander Railway & Timber Co.. Apparently this locomotive was originally constructed as a saddle tank, but the tanks were removed in 1940 after it was purchased by the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company in 1939. Numbered 5 by Weyerheuser, it was sold to the Kosmos Timber Company in Kosmos, WA, in 1950 and renumbered #11. In 1952, Kosmos changed its name to the United States Plywood Corporation. #11 was retired in 1960 and donated to the University of Washington where it was placed on display at the university's Seattle, WA, campus in 1961, before passing to Washington State Parks, who leased it to the museum. Restored to operating condition, the locomotive hauled the Snoqualmie Valley Train from North Bend to Snoqualmie Falls for a number of years until 1990 (from the NRM web page).

  • Description : Built by the Cooke Locomotive Works in Paterson, NJ, (later part of Alco) in 1907, #10 is one of the very few Northern Pacific Railway rotary snowplows to have been preserved. #10 has a fire tube boiler that powers two sets of steam cylinders to drive the 9' 8.5" rotary blade. There is also a flanger blade underneath the plow to clear snow from between the tracks. This can be raised and lowered to pass over points. The plow is not self propelled but has to be pushed by other locomotives. The number used depends on the depth of the snow (from the NRM web page).

Pennsylvania Railroad T1 4-4-4-4

  • Image : dir=usa/ page=index 89764 bytes, 795x550 pixels
  • Date : 1950s (added to collection 23 May 1999)
  • Photographer : unknown
  • Medium : Eric Thur, electronic image
  • Description : This cycloptian locomotive seen here leaving St Louis Station was one of a batch of 52 such locomotives built for the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1945. They were a very modern design, featuring roller bearings throughout and poppet valves, as well as extensive tenders which allowed them to run long distances at high speed and high efficiencies. They could pull 880 tons at 100mph on level track, and were also somewhat (in)famous for the leading engine unit slipping at high speed. Now that must have been something to behold!!


St. Paul & Pacific 4-4-2

  • Date : unknown, catalogued 17 Jul 1999
  • Photographer : unknown
  • Medium : Eric Thur, electronic image
  • Description : Two of these 4-4-2 locos were built for the CMStP&P and delivered in May 1935. They were designed to pull the new Hiawatha express on daylight runs between Chicago and the Twin Cities at an average speed of 66 miles an hour. Unfortunately, you can't see the driving wheels in this photo very well, but the rest of the loco presents a very clean image, stripped of all the usual pipes and stuff that adorn the exterior of most American locos.

Southern Pacific Railroad P-8 4-6-2 (Number 2472)

In early '86, I visited San Francisco, and heard about a group of people restoring a steam loco. I tracked them down, and visited a group of enthusiastic and very hospitable blokes working on 2472. You can read all about the outcome of their labours at Southern Pacific #2472 Class P-8 4-6-2 locomotive . Current restoration status is recorded at The Golden Gate Railroad Museum News Page . For now, check these "historic" photos!

Southern Pacific #2472 was built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1921. It is a 4-6-2 Pacific type, having 4 leading wheels, 6 drivers, and 2 trailing wheels. Pacifics such as the #2472 where designed primarily for high-speed passenger train service where sustained high speeds were just as important as pulling capability. Pacifics were used on railroads around the world and could be seen in the rosters of a great many American railroads. Southern Pacific classed the 2472 as a P-8, along with 14 sister engines built from the same Baldwin order. (From the web page )

  • Medium : Kodachrome, slide number 13828
  • Description : Taken at the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad, near the entrance to Yosemite National Park in California. I don't know much about this place, and it was all shut up when we were there, but they do have a website , where they say ``Number 10, built in 1928 weighs 83 tons, and is the heavest operating narrow guage Shay locomotive today.'' Thanks to John Haskey <johnh@@cisco.com> for the website info (29 Oct 1999).
