BM 2-6-0 #333 - Boston & Maine
Description:
Interesting early 2-6-0 Mogul for the Boston and Maine possibly built by Alco-Schenectady. The numbering, lettering and headlight placement put this photo as pre-1911. The location may be North Billerica, MA. Can anyone help with information?

BM #648 - Boston & Maine
Description:
Here is a very old and unfortunately deteriorating photo of a 1928 Baldwin built 0-8-0 for the Boston & Maine RR. It was their class H-3a with 52" drivers. Surprisingly it could generate a whopping 250 psi boiler pressure to deliver to its 23"x28" cylinders. The class was retired by 5/1951. No date, location or photographer listed so the posting is an approximated date and area.

BM #4000 - Boston & Maine, The "Cobra Hooded" Coffin Heater Model
Description:
One of the more unusual feedwater configurations is this "cobra hooded" Coffin type. Not sure why the photo is labeled "Schenectady Locomotive Works" at the bottom unless it was visiting for some reason since this was built by the Lima Locomotive Works in Ohio in 1928. It had 63" drivers and could develop an impressive 240 psi of boiler pressure for its 28"x30" cylinders and produced a respectable 66,500 lb of tractive effort but according to several sources, Boston & Maine were unhappy with its performance - leakages and derailing often when backing. During WWII, Boston & Maine sold their problems to Southern Pacific and Santa Fe who were in dire need of power out west. Date and location are approximate. No photographer listed.

BM 2-8-4 #4001 - Boston & Maine
Description:
Fair quality older photo of the cobra hooded Boston & Maine 2-8-4 Berkshire #4001. Built by the Lima Locomotive Works in May of 1928, this class of Berkshires had the curved Coffin feedwater heater which was labeled a "cobra-hood." B&M had problems with their trailing trucks and articulated "wiggling" that caused leakages around the firebox. During the closing months of World War II, the western railroads were in dire need of motive power to handle the shift in material and personnel from the European front to the war in the Pacific. The Boston & Maine was never really satisfied with its Lima built "Berkshires" and jumped at the chance to help the war effort and to unload its "lemons". The B&M sold ten "Berkshires" to the Southern Pacific and seven to the Santa Fe. This loco was sold in July of 1945 to ATSF and renumbered ATSF 4193 (ATSF class 4193). The loco was sold for scrap on 11/11/1949 to the Purdy Co. Specs - serial #7278, class T-1-a, 63" drivers, impressive 240 psi boiler pressure, 28x30" cylinders, engine weight of 393,000 lb, tractive effort of 66,550 lb. No date or location was given for this photo so an approximate was used. Unknown photographer
