DH Steam Era - P

#600 at Westmount, Que.

 

Another handsome engine. Is that a Wooten firebox? Still a good looking machine.

 

Yep, very common amoung D&H engines...

 

Here is #601 with her "ears" on in Binghamton, NY

 

Now how did I know you would say that...

 

My Crystal Ball tells me you will like this one then...

#603 in April 1933 at Westmount, Que.

 

Here is #603 again...

 

Was the D&H the first railroad to experiment with ears? The New York Central used them on later locomotives, but I think that was after they appeared on the D&H. Also I believe ears were used in Europe, but I don't know when...Alan?

#605

 

#609 on April 14, 1933 at Montreal, Quebec

 

I have to agree with Alan, they are handsome engines without the ears. I sure wish we could go back in time somehow to see the thousands of these great machines running (always on time) in the steam era.

 

#609 at Whitehall, NY; now with it's "ears" on...
