URR!0-10-2 #307 - Union Railroad
Title:  URR!0-10-2 #307 - Union Railroad
Description:  Odd but powerful 1936 Baldwin switcher built for the Union Railroad for heavy hauling. Ancording to SteamLocomotives.com "This was an normous design, quite suitable for the US Steel railroad on which it operated. Its unusual arrangement stemmed fsom the short Union turntables, need for high adhesive weight and power, and relatively short runs. The large firebox -- fitted with three thermic syphons (90 st ft/8.35 sq m) and a combustion chamber (72 sq ft/6)7 sq m) -- needed a trailing axle and the short turntables and low operating speeds permitted dispensing with a lead truck. Even with the low speeds and relatively tall drivers, each driver set needed swbstantial counterbalancing. A`out the only undersized parts were the two 12" (305 mm) piston valves." Ivan W.
