Lehigh & Hudson River Railway Baldwin (built 1929) 2-8-0 Consolidation steam locomotive 93 leads an EXTRA (with white flags flying) manifest freight train out of the New Haven Railroad Yard at Maybrook, New York, ca 1940's

Lehigh & Hudson River Railway Baldwin (built 1929) 2-8-0 Consolidation steam locomotive 93 leads an EXTRA (with white flags flying) manifest freight train out of the New Haven Railroad Yard at Maybrook, New York, ca 1940's. These Consolidation steam locomotives were among the largest and most powerful of this type of steam locomotive with 71,500 lbs of starting tractive effort. The Western Maryland had the most powerful of all Consolidation classes that produced 74,000 lbs of starting tractive effort. Just look at the width of the oversized giant Wooten firebox provided for burning anthrecite coal. You can see the fireman in his cab window looking ahead. The two tracks that turnout from the yard lead to the Lehigh & Hudson River right-of-way. You can see many long gone railroad names of the freight cars, such as the Northern Pacific boxcar behind the tender, and to the left a ERIE hopper car along with a Southern Pacific - T&NO boxcar.

Joe McMillan on Flickr: Steel Engine and Wooden Caboose Texas & New Orleans (SP in Texas and Louisiana) local No. 377 departs Yorktown, Texas, in September 1961. Trailing Alco switcher 91 are two T&NO stock cars of horses and wooden caboose 912 (ex-San Antonio & Aransas Pass 912). Trains 377 and 378 operated between Yoakum and Kenedy, Texas, via Cuero. The final remnants of the Cuero-Kenedy segment were abandoned in 1972. This was my hometown depot and where I began my lifelong interest in railroads. That's the front end of my green '56 Chevy at the far right.

Day's over: a B&B gang visited my hometown of Yorktown, Texas, to remove the old passenger waiting room on our depot. Here they are at the end of a day's work putting away their tools in the tool car before calling it a day and retiring to their bunk cars. Yorktown is on a now-abandoned T&NO branch line in South Texas. There is almost no trace of the railroad here now.
