Wildwood Florida, in 1960, on the Seaboard Airline, I photographed a train leaving the yard with four Baldwin centipedes on the point. For the benefit of you younger members, the Baldwin centipede was a monster covered wagon with two 8 cylinder 3000 hp engines under the hood and a 2-d-d-2 (4-8-8-4) wheel arrangement, 96 wheels in all. Considering the reliability of these notorious units, two were probably adequate for the train while two more were neened for redundancy.
