Another interesting life story for this locomotive. Built in June of 1903 as Delaware & Hudson 4-6-0 camelback ten wheeler #500 (serial #27651, D-3 class), it was rebuilt by Alco-Schenectady in 1927. At that time, they re-engineered the camelback loco into a conventional single cab layout, increased the boiler pressure to 225 psi and the cylinders were enlarged by an inch. I believe this loco lasted until being scrapped between 1951-52. C.W. "Bill" Jernstrom photo |
