Data from Schenectady Locomotive Works, Illustrated Catalogue of Simple and Compound Locomotives (Philadelphia: J B Lippincott, 1897), pp. 20-21. Also see D&HCo 1901 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Locobase cannot pin down this locomotive, but its firebox was considerably bigger than that of the three F class locomotives supplied by Schenectady in 1895 (Locobase 1179). This was presumably adopted to handle the anthracite coal that was this engine's diet.

The builder described the design in its 1897 catalogue and reported: "Locomotives of this type are in the New York, Saratoga and Montreal Passenger service on the Delaware and Hudson Railroad."

Class D (Locobase 8375)

Data from D&HCo 1901 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Boiler pressure is an estimate.

Locobase believes that this class was a hybrid of 5 new locomotives supplied by Dickson in 1886-1891 (works 533-534, 724, 802-803) and 3 that were rebuilds of older Dicksons. One of these originally bore works #10 and was delivered in 1867. The other two came in 1873 (142) and 1874 (160).

Class D-1 (Locobase 8374)

Data from D&HCo 1901 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Boiler pressure is an estimate.

Dickson's supply of locomotives to the D & H included one of its earliest, an Eight-wheeler bearing the works #24 and thus coming on the road in the late 1860s. It was rebuilt in 1884 by the railroad's own shops.

Class E (Locobase 8373)

Data from D&HCo 1901 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

When Dickson supplied a big order of locomotives to the D & H, two had 62" drivers. (See Locobase 8372). The other 13 had the 68" drivers shown here. The locomotives arrived in batches over a 7-year period. Two -- works #427-428 -- came in 1883, 546-549 in 1886, 568-569 and 571-572 in 1887, 627 in 1888, and 753-754 in 1890.

Class E-1 // G-4b (Locobase 1177)

Data from D&HCo 1901 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Rebuilt by the D&H. Variety of original dates, all engines originally built by Dickson except 379 (Schenectady).

Class F / G-4d (Locobase 1179)

Data from D&HCo 1901 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Works numbers were 4292-4294.

Same power specs as the 1896 Dicksons, but heavier on the front trucks. ( In addition, the boiler had 8 more tubes, but the grate was smaller.

Class F-1 / G-4c (Locobase 1178)

Single cabs built new in 1896. Out of service in 1917 (393),

1924 (391), and 1925 (392).

Locobase can't match these to any entry on JF Webber's list of Dickson locomotives (conveyed to Locobase by Allen Stanley in March 2004).But the D&HCo 1901 Locomotive Diagrams (supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection) shows a match with the F-1s that came from Dickson as works #927-929.

Class G (Locobase 8372)

Data from D&HCo 1901 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

This pair of Dicksons had relatively big grates for the mid-1880s. Their works numbers were consecutive: 577-578.

Class G-5 (Locobase 1182)

The last 4-4-0s built for the D&H. These 16 engines too were double cabs (camelbacks). Seven were converted in the late 1920s to a single-cab layout; see G-5[S]. Class retired in 1930s-1940s.

http://gelwood.railfan.net/other/dh/dh-stm-bk-html locomotive diagrams supplied much of the data.

Class G-5[S] (Locobase 1183)

Data from D&H 1-1930 locomotive diagram book supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Part of the G-5 class (ref 1182), but rebuilt as single-cab locomotives in the late 1920s. Note the increase in cylinder diameter and boiler pressure. Engines converted were 442 (Dec 29), 445 (Feb 27), 446 (May 28), 447 (Dec 29), 450 (May 28), 451 (June 29), and 457 (July 27). Class retired in 1930s-1940s.

http://gelwood.railfan.net/other/dh/dh-stm-bk-html's locomotive diagram shows that this superheated set broke into two subclasses based on weight. To Locobase's eye, these rebuilds had a pleasingly rangy look to them owing to a high-pitched boiler and a long driver wheelbase.

Class H // G-1c (Locobase 1175)

Data from D&HCo 1901 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Six Baldwin Eight-wheelers delivered in 1875 (works #3742, 3754, 3756-57, 3759-3760) were updated and modified by the D & H's own shops in 1890-1893. Oneonta reworked 396 & 399 while Green Island rebuilt the others. It's not clear to Locobase just what might have been changed in the overhaul. 397 was later rebuilt again in 1904 as an inspection engine.

Class K-1/L (Locobase 8368)

Data from D&HCo 1901 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

The only difference in the two classes of Dickson rebuilds lay in its driver diameters; the two Ls rode on 68" drivers. Otherwise, all of the original engines fell into the works # range 143-162 (although the last K-1 is shown as having been delivered in 1884).

Class O-1 (Locobase 8365)

Data from D&HCo 1901 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

In the company of other D & H rebuilds, the O-1 Eight-wheeler represented a mixture of Schenectady and Taunton-built locomotives from earlier days. One of the Schenectady engines was delivered as that builder's works #404; other engines were 629 & 725. Also, the class included engines with different driver diameters - 3 had the 62" drivers shown in the specs, 1 Schenectady rolled on 68" drivers while two more had 57 1/2" go wheels.

Locobase wonders about the dates in the rebuild column (1871, 1875, 1884) but doesn't have a better explanation.

Class T-1 // G-3 (Locobase 1176)

Data from D&HCo 1901 and D&H 1-1930 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Rebuilt by the D&H with double (camelback) cabs, Wooten firebox. Original builder and year:

421 Smith & Jackson 1871

422 Danforth & Cooke 1876

423-426 Dickson 1866-1867.

The 1901 book shows 209 boiler tubes, the 1930 edition credits the boiler with 211 small tubes.

Retired 1924 (421-22, 426), 1926 (423, 425), and 1935 (424).

Class V-1/V-2 // G-4e/f (Locobase 1180)

Data from D&H 1-1930 locomotive diagram book supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Double (camelback) cabs. Firebox heating surface included 104 sq ft of "water bars".

V-Is were two rebuilds by the Green Island shops, one built at Oneonta and one at Carbondale. Out of service in 1926 (433-434) and 1930 (432, 435).

V-IIs were four Green Island new-builds of 1900-1901. Lighter on the drivers (86,650 lb) and trucks (128,250 lb overall). Retired in 1927 (427), 1928 (437), and 1930 (428, 436).

Class V-III // G-4g (Locobase 8380)

Data from D&HCo 1901 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

This class was built at the D & H's Green Island shops. Like many of the other 4-4-0s run by this anthracite road, the V-IIIs were double-cabs (camelbacks). A somewhat unusual visual highpoint were the rounded domes before and after the cab. According to Jim Shaughnessy's tabulation (in his Delaware & Hudson, 1982 (reprint 1997), the first to retire was the 439, which was scrapped in September 1926. 441 followed in December 1928, then 438 & 440 were cut up in September 1935.
