LV 4-6-0 #127, "Springfield" - Lehigh Valley
Description:
Here is a rare Baldwin builder's photo of Lehigh Valley 4-6-0 ten wheeler #127 named "Springfield" built in Juily of 1869. Due to the limitations of the RRPA data base, the date has to be listed as 1/1/1900 instead of the correct 7/1869. The loco was rebuilt in June of 1881, possibly with a different wheel configuration. The loco was gone by 1905. This appears to be an extremely old reprint of the original builder's photo.

Description:
Named after James Donelly, the New Jersey Division Superintendent, this 4-4-0C American camelback steam locomotive literally gleams as it heads up a long polished "varnish". This very old photograph shows the train stopped at the Easton, PA, station. The correct date is 1886 but the RRPA data base does not accept dates earlier than 1900. No ptotographer was listed.

Lehigh Valley 4-8-4 Milk Train #36
Description:
Once a common sight was the high speed movement of milk via trains like this Lehigh Valley one headed up by an unidentified 4-8-4 locomotive. A note on the back states "LV #36 Milk Train, opposite Drifton Jct, White Haven, PA" Instead of referring to the 4-8-4 configuration as a "Northern" type locomotive, they coined the label "Wyoming" type for the historic Wyoming Valley in the Susquehanna Valley area that was served by the LV railroad.

LV 2-8-2 #390 - Lehigh Valley
Description:
This 1916 Baldwin built 2-8-2 Mikado #390 (serial #42958) was one of 45 locos in the unusual class labeled N-2 1/2. These Mikes repeated the Wootten-firebox N-2s that had brought such a large boiler to the LV through the adoption of 21-ft long tubes. The one difference (and it was an important one) was the use of 62" (later 63") drivers in place of the N-2's 56" (1422 mm) wheels. Unknown photographer took this photo

LV 2-8-2 #305 - Lehigh Valley
Description:
Long before a GP18 loco wore the number LV 305, this Baldwin built 2-8-2 Mikado had the honor. Built in December of 1912 (serial #38993), the loco was an N-2 class member. The location is "Suspension Bridge" which is near Easton, PA. Incidentally, the very first 2-8-2 was built by LV back in 1883 from a rebuild of two center cab 2-10-0's into a 2-8-2. Specs from the back of the photo - N-2 class, 56" drivers, 175 psi boiler pressure, 27x30" cylinders, engine weight of 322,000 lb, tractive effort of 58,092. Unknown photographer.
