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.

Although briefly in the employ of this Norfolk to Hampton Beach street railway, the 4 went to the Wilmington Sea Coast in North Carolina (see [] for a description of this railway), but the electrification of that railway led to its sale to Angola Lumber in 1893.
