Uintah Railway - 2-6-6-2T mallet type steam locomotive Nr. 50 (Baldwin Locomotive Works 59261 / 1926) by Historical Railway Images Via Flickr: In 1926 the Uintah Railway purchased an articulated locomotive, number 50, which was specifically designed to handle the extreme curvature and steep grades of Baxter Pass. The idea was that this new locomotive would do away with the need to change engines at Atchee and Wendella. The single articulated locomotive could move as many cars as two Shay locomotives from Rainbow to Atchee and made the trip in half the time After some initial modifications, this engine proved to be such a success that in 1928 the company purchased a sister locomotive, number 51. These were the only narrow gauge simple articulated locomotives sold for use in the United States en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uintah_Railway This locomotive was sold in 1940 to the Sumpter Valley Railway (SVR 250)
I can’t believe this is American.
This is so freaking British looking.
