Narrow-Gauge Locomotives Baldwin Works 1877 Catalog U Of Oklahoma Reprint 1967

Description: Narrow Gauge Locomotives Baldwin 1877 Catalog Dust Jacket REPRINTED 1967 47 Pages Steam railroad and locomotive buffs and western history enthusiasts will delight in this replica of the 1877 edition of Narrow-Gauge Locomotives Manufactured by the Baldwin Locomotive Works. Although the catalog totals but forty-nine pages, the text is written with painstaking care and the illustrations of locomotives are photographs which were pasted on the original by hand. Railroad history is reflected in the names and the descriptions of the engines. For instance, the narrow-gauge "Double-Ender" was advertised as a tank locomotive "designed to run either way without turning. and adapted to passenger service on short runs." Then there are the "Schuylkill" and the "Delaware." These two models in 1876 served the Centennial Exhibition by doing "their full share of transporting over four millions of passengers"-like models were capable of reaching twenty-five to forty miles an hour. "Consolidations" patterns, such as the "Sharpless" and "Keweenaw" models, were for freight use. Anyone who has ever ridden the three-foot gauge over the cranberry bogs of Massachusetts or made the Durango Silverton run in Colorado may well wish he had paid attention to something besides the scenery, because just as the narrow-gauge was rising to prominence all over America in the 1870's, so it is again. This little book is a collector's item.
