| Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 0-6-0 Class G-5-A 523 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on an unknown day in December 1920, photo by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. This locomotive was completed in December 1920 (c/n 54195) and delivered to the CB&Q during 1921. It was one of 15 copies of the USRA 0-6-0 design ordered by the CB&Q, one of 25 on the railroad. The CB&Q had received 10 USRA 0-6-0's (class G-5) from Alco during 1919. The Alco's were pure USRA 0-6-0's, while the Baldwins were copies of the USRA design with some CB&Q modifications (no superheater, taller domes, CB&Q headlights, arch bar tender trucks, different tender design, to name a few). |
