Cute little loco, a 0-4-4. I suppose she could haul several more than two cars, with power to spare. She has a nice sound, a classic four-beat. Toward the end, are we hearing the exhaust from the air compressor louder than the traction exhaust? I'll bet she ran on mostly scrap lumber and sawdust while in service. In some scenes, she seems to be running rather smoky, which could be a function of how they are tending the fire and the draft.
How much can be hauled depends entirely on the track gradient/landscape/geography and drops quickly as grades are encountered. Let's see, the Hoosier Valley Museum website says this is a 1908 Baldwin. So, looking in a reprint of a 'The Baldwin Locomotive Company Catalogue of Locomotives', a telegraph word code order 0-4-4 of "Masterasso", Class 8-14 1/3C, 10x16 cylinders, 37in drivers, (which looks about what this one might be) 44,000 pounds total weight in working order, Could Haul: on level track 640 tons (which indeed is more than two cars!); on a 0.5% grade, 305 tons; on a 1.5% grade; 130 tons; on a 3% grade 65 tons. For those who might not already know, railroad track grade, slope, here in the US is referred to as a percent derived by dividing how many feet of rise (or decline) in a run of 100 feet. Meaning, that 0.5% grade would be a rise of 6 inches in a run of 100 feet & that 3% grade would be a rise of 3 feet in a run of 100 feet.
@@scottfw7169 , thanks for the hard data, which I was too lazy to look up, even though I was insufficiently lazy to avoid remarking offhand about the subject.
Small locomotives like this have long been a favorite. And this one is an attractive representative.
I agree
!!! Excellent shot. Like me !!!
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful video! Beautiful captures! Greetings from Romania, dear friend! 💯
Thank you! And thanks for watching again!

Thanks for watching! I know the week prior to this video they were burning pure diesel. Not sure about on this particular day though
