BM 2-6-0 #333 - Boston & Maine
Description:
Interesting early 2-6-0 Mogul for the Boston and Maine possibly built by Alco-Schenectady. The numbering, lettering and headlight placement put this photo as pre-1911. The location may be North Billerica, MA. Can anyone help with information?

BM 4-4-0 #950 - Boston & Maine
Description:
This appears to be a reprint from the 1940-50's era of a 1915 photograph possibly done by K.E. Schlachter of a 1915 photograph. The locomotive was built in 1900 by the Manchester Locomotive Works just before the formation of the American Locomotive Works (Alco). This American-type locomoitve was originally numbered 633. This loco was used most often in suburban service out of Boston's North Station. Specifics - class A-41, 69" drivers, 18x24" cylinders, respectable 190 psi boiler pressure, 18,200 lb tractive effort, engine weight of 115.00 lbs.

BM 2-8-4 #4006 - Boston & Maine (Cobra hooded)
Description:
Nice original action shot of the of the unusual and problem plagued 1928 Lima built 2-8-4 Berkshire for the Boston and Maine. One unique feature was the "Cobra Hood" Coffin feedwater heater that wrapped as a collar around the smokebox. According to www.steamlocomotive.com "From the beginning, the B&M had problems with their Lima built "Berkshires". The problem was with the trailing four-wheel truck. Because of the large firebox and large ash pan the locomotive had to have an articulated frame. The back end of the firebox had to rest on a moving base and it was subject to buffeting and twisting, resulting in chronic leakage at the mud ring, side sheet stay bolts and the throat sheet, as it tried to wiggle from side to side to follow the motion of the trucks. Also, this arrangement would sometimes cause the rear wheels to derail while backing up." Eventually ten in the class were sold to SP and 7 were sold to ATSF in July of 1945. Specs - 63" drivers, 28"x30" cylinders, 240 psi,engine weight of 406,900 lb, tractive effort of 76,160 lb.

BM #409 - Boston & Maine
Description:
Built by the Manchester Locomotive Works (Alco) in 1911, this class G-11a switcher had small 52" drivers but could generate a very respectable boiler pressure of 200 psi for its 19"x26" cylinders. Although the photo had no date, location or photographer listed, it appears like it might be in the Boston passenger yard. Date is approximate.

The Manchester Locomotive Works built this American style locomotive sometime between 1900-11. It was an A-41 class unit with 69" drivers and 190 psi boiler pressure.

BM #916 - Boston & Maine
Description:
Here is a very early locomotive built by the Manchester Locomotive Works in 1893. It was a B&M class A-38a with 64" drivers. It generated a modest boiler pressure of 150 psi for its 18"x24" cylinders. The engine weight was a petite 100,800 lb and it produced a tractive effot a mere 15,491 lb but worked well with the early passenger and freight car weights of its time. A note on back of the photo states that this locomotive was "scrapped 1937" but Steamlocomotive.com website has it scrapped much earlier, in 1923. No photographer identified.

Description:
Here is a very old and unfortunately deteriorating photo of a 1928 Baldwin built 0-8-0 for the Boston & Maine RR. It was their class H-3a with 52" drivers. Surprisingly it could generate a whopping 250 psi boiler pressure to deliver to its 23"x28" cylinders. The class was retired by 5/1951. No date, location or photographer listed so the posting is an approximated date and area.

BM #4000 - Boston & Maine, The "Cobra Hooded" Coffin Heater Model
Description:
One of the more unusual feedwater configurations is this "cobra hooded" Coffin type. Not sure why the photo is labeled "Schenectady Locomotive Works" at the bottom unless it was visiting for some reason since this was built by the Lima Locomotive Works in Ohio in 1928. It had 63" drivers and could develop an impressive 240 psi of boiler pressure for its 28"x30" cylinders and produced a respectable 66,500 lb of tractive effort but according to several sources, Boston & Maine were unhappy with its performance - leakages and derailing often when backing. During WWII, Boston & Maine sold their problems to Southern Pacific and Santa Fe who were in dire need of power out west. Date and location are approximate. No photographer listed.

BM 4-6-2 #3710 - Boston & Maine
Description:
BM 3710 was one of the last ten 4-6-2 locomotives that Lima would ever make for any railroad- To mark the delivery of these 10, Boston & Maine sponsored a naming contest among New England K-8 students.

BM #4018 - Boston & Maine, The "Cobra-Hooded" Coffin Model
Description:
Like its sister #4000 in this album, this unusual "cobra hooded" Coffin feedwater heater equipped locomotive was an unusual sight. Built by Lima in 1928, this class T1a Berkshire-type locomotive had 63" drivers, generated an impressive 240 psi of boiler pressure for its 28"30" cylinders, had an engine wieght of 406,900 lb, and could produce a respectable tractive effort of 76,160 lb. With all of that however, Boston & Maine had problems with the class from the very beginning - mostly due to the trailing 4 wheel turck which caused twisting motion on curves that produced leakages and often resulted in derailing when backing. B&M sold the class to Southern Paciifc and Santa Fe during WWII. No photographer listed for this photo. The day in 1938 is an approximation.

BM 2-8-4 #4001 "Cobra hooded" - Boston & Maine
Description:
An interesting feature of this 1928 Lima built 2-8-4 Berkshire was the Coffin feedwater heater that circled the crown of the smoke box, nicknamed the "cobra-hooded" look. Eventually this loco was sold to the ATSF in 1945 and renumbered ATSF 4193. Note on back of photo states - " B.&M. 4001 (2-8-4) arriving in W.R. Juct. From Boston." Specs - T-1a class, 63" drivers, 240 psi boiler pressure, 28x30" cylinders. No date or photographer was listed.

BM 2-8-4 #4019 "Cobra hooded" - Boston & Maine
Description:
Unfortunately this poor quality photo barely shows the unique Boston & Maine "cobra-hooded" Berkshire built by Lima in 1928. The interesting "cobra-hood" feature was actually the Coffin feedwater heater that circled the crown of the smoke box. Eventually this loco was sold to SP in 1945 and renumbered SP 3509. Specs - T-1a class, 63" drivers, 240 psi boiler pressure, 28x30" cylinders. No date, location or photographer was listed.

Here is a 1910 Alco-Schenectady built Pacific on a daily run. The back of the photo lists this as "Train #56", so good chance this might be Boston, MA.
