First shot coming onto to table. Second shot the table starting to rotate. Note tender in house from 4172 ! Was that the equipment to be used on the "Hump ?

They had special flatcars with MU connections coupled between the two Baldwins to spread the weight out. G Date: 03/03/15 22:26 Re: S P Roseville, Ca. May 4, 1959 Author: Barstool For s shot time, the Baldwin cow and Calves were working between Oakland and Roseville and went over to the Suisun Turnout of Oakland, these engines were brutes for pulling power, but were sent to Eugene Ore to work the hump and finish out their days...
