ATSF 0-4-0 #5, "Little Buttercup" |
Description: |

Pinafore. Originally built by Baldwin Locomotive Works as a saddle tank locomotive, ATSF 241,9 in 1899, it was rebuilt for the 1948 Chaicago Railroad Fair (seen here).

CSPW 0-4-0T #12 - Chattanooga Sewer Pipe Works Co |
Description: |
According to the information written on the back of the photo by the photographer T.R. Lawson, this little 0-4-0T saddle tank switcher was built by Baldwin in September of 1924 (serial #57989). It was taken at the Southern Iron & Equipment (SI&E) Company in Atlanta, Georgia, circa 1940. No other info could be found on this loco. BTW, "CSPW" is not a valid reporting mark but one that can be used for now. |

CNJ 0-4-0T #840 - Central RR of New Jersey |
Description: |
This interesting little side tank 0-4-0 loco, CNJ #840, was built by Baldwin in 1907. It started out serving at the Bronx Terminal until 1925. It was removed from there after the Kaufman Act of 1923 was passed that banned steam locos from working with the city confines. It worked at the Communipaw Shops for a number of years. . It's final disposition is currently unknown but most likely scrapped after 1950.. Original specs from back of photo - 45" drivers, 170 psi boiler pressure, 17x24" cylinders, modest engine weight of 91,500 lb and modest tractive effort of 22,272 lb. The photo is by Vesely taken on 120 size film. |

ATSF 0-4-0T #9419 - Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe |
Description: |
Thanks to the research efforts of Chuck Zeiler, the online discrepancies about this loco have been resolved. This cute, small 0-4-0 tank loco built by Burnham, Wms & Co (Baldwin) in January of 1900 as a display engine #1 at the Santa Fe Terminal in San Francisco, CA. In 1912, it was renumbered ATSF 2419 and used as a shop switcher at the Needles, CA. yard. It was later rebuilt with a new boiler and renumbered ATSF 2045. On June 20, 1945, it was renumbered again as 02419 and then again on December.26, 1945 as ATSF #9419 as seen here. Finally in 1948, it was rebuilt to an 0-6-0 with a regular tender and finally renumbered #5 "Little Buttercup" for display. The rebuilt loco was eventually preserved at the History Park section of Kelley Park in San Jose, CA.Original specs - serial #17333, 0-4-0T, 51" drivers, 160 psi boiler pressure, 17x24" cylinders, modest engine weight of 100,000 lb, modest tractive effot of 18,500 lb. No exact date, location or photographer was given for this photograph. |
