            Lehigh & Hudson River Railway Baldwin (built 1929) 2-8-0 Consolidation steam locomotive 93 leads an EXTRA (with white flags flying) manifest freight train out of the New Haven Railroad Yard at Maybrook, New York, ca 1940's.  These Consolidation steam locomotives were among the largest and most powerful of this type of steam locomotive with 71,500 lbs of starting tractive effort.  The Western Maryland had the most powerful of all Consolidation classes that produced 74,000 lbs of starting tractive effort.  Just look at the width of the oversized giant Wooten firebox provided for burning anthrecite coal.  You can see the fireman in his cab window looking ahead.  The two tracks that turnout from the yard lead to the Lehigh & Hudson River right-of-way.  You can see many long gone railroad names of the freight cars, such as the Southern Pacific reefer behind the tender, and to the left an ERIE hopper car along with a Southern Pacific - T&NO boxcar.
