| Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-6-0 Class H-4 1553 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on an unknown day in 1899, photograph by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. This is somewhat unusual for a builder's photo, in the lower left are the words: COPIED BY PHOTOGRAPH DEPARTMENT THE BALDWIN LOCOMOTIVE WORKS. My best guess is that there was some damage to the original photograph, possibly the image in the upper left. Number 1553 was built by Baldwin as a class H-4 2-6-0 in 1988 (c/n 17002), renumbered in 1904 to 1222, rebuilt at Aurora in May 1909 to class K-10 4-6-0 number 959, retired and sold for scrap in July 1952.. |
