Title:
DH 4-6-6-4 #1524 - Delaware & Hudson
Description:
This massive and beautiful beast of a locomotive was built by Alco-Schenectady in September of 1942. An interesting and sad note was on the back of the photo. it states"Delware & Hudson #1524 at Carbondale, PA taken 10-24-1953 on RRE trip to Ninevah, NY. This loco went on scrap line next day." According to Alco-Schenectady records, the loco was actually sold for scrap in August of 1953 so the trip would have been its last hurrah after serving the DH for only 11 years.. Specs - class J, 69" drivers, impressive 285 psi boiler pressure, four 20.5x32" cylinders, engine wt of 600,000 lb & tractive effort of 95,800 lb. The photo was taken by Frank M. Seiffert Jr.
