Description:
WAB 2324 was part of a 30 unit order built by Burnham, Williams & Co (predecessor of Baldwin Locomotive Works) as a class H-7 for the Wheeling & Lake Erie RR. The locomotive had 58” drivers and an overall engine/tender wheelbase of 57.87”. During the 1920’s, Wabash had acquired these units, supercharged them creating class I3s units. Although these short-haul engines didn’t gain much power, fuel economy may have been the reason behind the upgrade.

WAB 0-6-0 #534 - Wabash RR
Description:
With a tender loaded with coal and a head of steam up, it looks like this Alco-Rhode Island 0-6-0 steam yard switcher is ready for its next assignment. Built in August of 1906, the little switcher lasted until being sold to the Lake Erie & For Wayne RR as their #1. It was eventually retired in March of 1957 to the city of Fort Wayne, IN. The loco was on display in Swinney Park but in 1975, it was moved to the Fort Wayne Historical Park in New Haven, IN. There is is undergoing restoration. No date, location or photographer was listed for the photo.

Description:
This 1906 Alco-Rhode Island built switcher was a class B-7 and had a serial number of 41174. Forrest Trittenbach took the photo but date and location are unknown. I believe this unit is being rebuilt by the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society See (http://fortwaynerailroad.org/category/projects/).

Here's another Alco-Schenectady built Mikado like a its sisters in the album but this one was built in 1925 as a K-4b class. Still had the 64" drivers and 210 psi. No location or date was listed on the photo so both are approximate. A Forrest Trittenbach photo.

WAB 4-8-2 #2805 - Wabash RR
Description:
Fairly nice original photo or older reprint of Wabash 4-8-2 Mountain type locomotive built by Baldwin in November of 1929. After over 30 years of service, the entire class of 25 M1 locos was scrapped between 1953-55 to make room for the more efficient diesels. Wabash #2805 met the scrapper's torch in September of 1955. Specs - serial #61154, class M1, 70" drivers, 235 psi boiler pressure, 27x32" cylinders, engine weight of 406,400 lb, tractive effort of 66,568 lb. No date or photographer was lsited for the photo so an approximate date was used.

WAB 4-8-2 #2807
Description:
When compared to some of the earlier locomotives in this album built in 1890's and early 1900's, this massive 1930 Baldwin locomotive is powerful, sophisticated and the product of years of constant research and development. This Mountain-type locomotive boasted 70" drivers and a whopping 235 psi boiler pressure but came near the end of steam. It was retired sometime between 1953-55, barely working 25 years. No known survivors of this class are known. No known location or date for this photo made by Forrest Trittenbach.

WAB 4-8-2 #2822 - Wabash RR
Description:
Beautiful sepia tinted original photo of a 12/1930 Baldwin built Mountain-type locomotive Wabash 4-8-2 #2822 (serial #61205). I left the photo in its original sepia color as it creates a warm, nostalgic portrait of this powerful loco. The class was retired in the mid 1950's with no survivors. Wabash #2822 met up with the scrapper's torch in September of 1955 after 24 years of service to the Wabash. Specifics - 70" drivers, 235 psi boiler pressure, 27x32" cylinders, engine weight of 406,400 lb and tractive effort of 66,568 lb. The date is approximate and no photographer was listed for this beautiful portrait unfortunately.

The dutiful engineer is oiling his drivers while stopped. Note the two cabooses behind, the latter one looks like a wooden Wabash caboose while the closer one appears to be a steel clad one.

Here is another example of a 1903 Alco-Brooks Atlantic-type loco had tall 83" drivers and produced 215 psi boiler pressure. Wabash shops superheated this class in 1928 which reportedly increased power by almost 30%. Forrest Trittenbach photo
