Hastings Lumber 2-4-2 "Columbian" Locomotives in the USA


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 2 (Locobase 12073)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 22, p. 228,. Works number was 17433 in February 1900.

This tank was an exact duplicate (in all the important dimensions, at least) of the 1893 Concord & Montreal locomotive shown in Locobase 12065. Hastings operated lumber harvesting on the New Hampshire-Maine border and built a 10-mile railroad from Hastings up the Wild River. When the Wild River lumber stands burned in 1903, the railroad cloased and the 4 went to Berlin, NH to run on the Berlin Mills line. It was scrapped in 1935.
