QUOTE: Originally posted by AggroJones Here's a no-brainer. I spawned off the design of another large steamer. A few examples of us were barrowed and used much futher west of home territory. Were used to haul long heavy trains over low grades. One of the most beautifully designed articulateds. Road, wheel arrangement, and class.

QUOTE: Originally posted by twhite See what I mean? This is ridiculous. Okay, to continue--I spent a couple of winters in Colorado, enjoying the scenery. I outlasted Big Boy by two years. One of me still runs, but it doesn't go anyplace. If I spoke, I'd sound like Frances MacDormand in 'Fargo.' Who am I?
QUOTE: Originally posted by twhite Cool. You're a 4-10-2. Baldwin demonstrater. While I've got you on the subject, something I've wondered. Were SP's 4-10-2's built by Baldwin or Alco? I've never been able to get that one straight. I know Baldwin built some 3-cylinder locos (notably the Rio Grande 1600 4-8-2's) since Alco had the American rights to the inside Gresley valve gear for the 3rd cylinder and Baldwin had to implement a second Walschearts, instead. Reason I'm asking, is that I never saw an SP 4-10-2 when I was a kid, they didn't seem to run in Northern California. Like everything else in SP steam, the photos I've seen show them to be an extraordinarily handsome locomotive. Didn't know anyone had submitted the 2-8-8-4--I didn't read all 23 pages of this forum. Think I'd better, now.

I was built by Baldwin, just before WWII. Though hardly anyone knows it, I had more TE than 'Big Boy.' I only usually hauled one commodity, but boy, did I haul it!
