Mallets in the Tall Timber
A web page dedicated to the history of the Baldwin logging Mallet. Articulated locomotives. That description brings to the minds of most American rail fans
machines like Union Pacific's Big Boys, or the Y6s of the Norfolk & Western. However, another
interesting aspect of the history of articulated locomotives in America are the Baldwin Logging Mallets, of
which forty-four were built between 1909 and 1937.

Norfolk and Western 611
Norfolk and Western 611 is a preserved 4-8-4 steam locomotive built and operated by the Norfolk and Western Railway from 1950 to 1959. Built at the Roanoke Shops in May 1950, No. 611 is the only surviving example of fourteen class J locomotives, and currently the largest operating 4-8-4 "Northern" type locomotive in the United States.
611 was retired in 1959 from revenue passenger service and moved to the Virginia Museum of Transportation (VMT) in 1962. In 1982, Norfolk Southern restored the locomotive to operating condition for excursion service as it became the star of their steam program pulling excursions throughout the eastern United States. No. 611 was retired again in December 1994 and moved back to the VMT. In February 2013, the VMT formed a campaign called Fire Up 611! to return No. 611 to operating condition once again for excursion service in May 2015.

Reading Class T-1 4-8-4 Locomotives
Philadelphia & Reading 4-8-4 "Northern" Type Locomotives. The Reading Class T-1's were handsome heavy-duty locomotives which saw steady work until diesels took over freight service in the early 1950's. As they were taken out of service, the T-1's were kept in top-notch shape inside the Reading Roundhouse.

Richard Leonard's Steam Locomotive Archive
The 1950s were the last decade during which steam locomotives were used in regular main line service on North American railroads. They were also the decade during which I reached my teen years, and began to photograph these locomotives wherever and whenever I could. For many years my archive of steam photos lay hidden in the dark confines of storage boxes and basement shelves. But now, thanks to the Internet, my steam photography in the 1950s and after is available to steam fans all over the world.
