Ocean View 0-4-2 Locomotives in the USA
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class 4 (Locobase 11618)
Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 15, p. 76. See Locobase 16366 for a skeptical 1877 view of steam dummies and Locobase 11577 for a supporting 1889 discussion of the problems associated with running steam dummies on urban street railways.Works number was 9950 in April 1889. See wikipedia ([
