| Here is a pie-shaped view of the newly delivered 1928 Baldwin built 4-8-8-2 cab forward SP #4101. According to www.steamlocomotive.com "These oil-fired engines had three ostensible disadvantages - the crew's vulnerability in a collision, the need to keep a high water level in the long boiler to account for grades, and an occasional back blast from the firebox from flameout and sudden relight caused by the long distance from tender to grate. (The fuel was helped through the lines by an 5-lb overpressure in the cylindrical tender.)" Unknown photographer. |
