Norfolk and Western Mallet Locomotives Adopted for Mountain Freight
The Norfolk and Western Railway received five Mallet type locomotives from Baldwin, designed for heavy mountain freight. Each engine carries twenty wheels and two eight wheel driving groups with swing trucks for curves, and uses compound steam in rear high pressure then front low pressure cylinders. Weighing 390000 pounds engine weight and 560000 total with tender, they offer fuel and water economy and can be split into two sections for easier shop handling.
