CB&Q 2-8-0 Class D-1 453
Title:  CB&Q 2-8-0 Class D-1 453
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-8-0 Class D-1 453 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, sometime in 1884, photo by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built as a 2-8-0 Consolidation Type in the summer of 1884 (c/n 7337) renumbered 1632 in 1904, rebuilt into a class G-4-A 0-6-0 sometime before 1910, renumbered to 1453, retired November, 1928. The following is from the book, "Steam Locomotives of the Burlington Route", by Bernard G. Corbin and William F. Kerka: In the summer of 1884 the Baldwin Locomotive Works completed ten 2-8-0 types, numbers 449-458, similar to their earlier models, but built in accordance with plans and specifications furnished by the railroad company. The boiler of this design was 56" diameter and of the straight-top type. Steel plate was used throughout, including the firebox which was radial stayed. The earlier Consolidations had short main rods connected to the second pair of drivers, but these latest engines had longer rods coupled to the third pair. Because the firebox was also built between the third and fourth pair of driving wheels, it was necessary to locate the eccentrics on the second axle. The main frames were forged steel with welded braces. The connecting rods and crank pins were also of forged steel. Westinghouse brake equipment was applied on driving and tender wheels. The tender capacity was 3,000 gallons and the feedwater system employed two injectors. The cylinder dimensions were the same as the earlier types (20"X24"), but the driving-wheel diameter was increased to 52".

CB&Q 2-8-0 Class D-1 453
Title:  CB&Q 2-8-0 Class D-1 453
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-8-0 Class D-1 453 builders plate, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, sometime during 1884, photo by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. Builders photos were generally done with 8X10 view cameras, producing an eight inch by ten inch negative which could be retouched by hand to produce an almost flawless image. When printiing, the print was contact printed with the negative, that is, the negative and print paper touched each other and were pressed between a board and a piece of glass, then exposed to light. As a result, the print yielded exceptional detail, as seen here. The detail of the builders plate can be read, even off a photograph of the entire locomotive.

CB&Q 2-8-0 537
Title:  CB&Q 2-8-0 537
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad narrow gauge 2-8-0 537 at Denver, Colorado on June 11, 1934, photograph by Richard B. Jackson, print from Gordon C. Bassett, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 537 was built by Baldwin in April 1896 as Deadwood Central 5 (c/n 14792), renumbered to Burlington & Missouri River 496 in 1901, becoming CB&Q 537 in 1906. In March 1930, the DC was abandon, and the 537 was converted from oil to coal at the Denver Shops (it had been built as a coal-burner, but was converted to burn oil in 1910) and leased to the Colorado & Southern for use on the South Park lines until that line was abandon in April 1937. The tender was used by the scrapper as a water supply for the camp cars assigned in tearing up the South Park. It was reunited with the locomotive on temporary tracks at Denver pending a decision on the locomotive to attend the New York World's Fair, but C&S 9 went instead. The locomotive was stored, then shipped (locomotive and tender on separate flat cars) to the Q's Eola, Illinois Reclamation Plant and scrapped on August 26, 1939.

B&MR 2-8-0 Class D-4 3316
Title:  B&MR 2-8-0 Class D-4 3316
Description:  Burlington & Missouri River Railroad 2-8-0 Class D-4 3316 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania sometime in 1903, photograph by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. This locomotive was built in 1903 for the Burlington & Missouri River (a subsidiary of the Chicago Burlington & Quincy) as class D-4 number 3316, renumbered in 1904 to CB&Q 3191, retired in June 1927. The B&MR received 2-8-0 class D-4 locomotives from both Baldwin (sub-classed D-4B) and Schenectady (Alco, sub-classed D-4A). A total of 100 D-4's were built, 75 by Alco and 25 by Baldwin, and at the time of their construction, they were the largest and heaviest locomotives on the Burlington system. They employed 12-inch piston steam valves actuated by Stephenson valve gear. The following is from Burlington Route Historical Society's Bulletin #29, edited by Hol Wagner: There were a number of differences between lcomotives of the two builders, chief among them being the slope of the firebox and style and positioning of the domes (the bell and sandbox being transposed on the two builders versions). The two slightly different firebox designs were both examples of the "kinked" or "broken back" arrangement commonly used in the first years of the 20th Century on early wide firebox locomotives (which also employed two separate firing doors on the backhead). In this arrangement, the rear portion of the mud ring was horizontal, while the front portion sloped downward between the last two pairs of drivers. The downward slope was more pronounced on the Schenectady D-4's than on the Baldwins. The slope had the disadvantage of allowing the fire to slide forward on the sloping grates, gathering at the firebox throat under the fire-brick arch - the point of least fire activity - and choking the lower boiler tubes while leaving a hole in the fire at the point of the kink. Consequently, the Baldwin firebox, with its lesser slope (because it began further to the rear) was a more efficient design.
