Mark,

George Drury's book "Guide to N.A. Steam" doesn't show a loco 3354. Could this be an Erie Railroad loco? Erie 3354 was a Berkshire that lasted into the 1950s and was generally like the NKP locomotives like 759.

Tell me if the engine looks even a bit like the one you have a slide of. I can't find the LV engine though.


That's the correct locomotive, thanks. I have a slide in color and the autos behind the locomotive look like early fifities models. Do you know when the D&H stopped operating this locomtovies?


It was retired in either '52 or '53. The shot you have must have been taken during the twilight of the engine's life.

I have some slides of steam locomotives from the fifites I'm trying to identify. Can you help me identify the following?

Lehigh Valley (?) #3354. Is this a Lehigh Valley locomotive and do you have any information on this class?

Delaware & Hudson #607. Do I have the correct railroad? The locomotive has smoke deflectors.

Thanks!
