The #10 is now at the Connecticut Eastern RR Museum in Willimantic, Ct. www.cteastrrmuseum.org She arrived 10/17/2008, and is currently in Stall 6 of the Columbia Junction Roundhouse. Interesting piece of history about her, according to the records at Southern Methodist University, in Dallas, Tx., she was originally built for Wickwire-Spencer Steel Company, but got sent to Standard Steel & Wire, then 14 years later in 1948 Wickwire finally gets her. Her build date is July 1934, and her construction number is 61820. http://www.cteastrrmuseum.org/Baldwin040.html

This is an unusual locomotive-- it was built by Baldwin in 1934, as a demonstrator to compete with diesel switchers!!! It was designed for one-man operation, as an automatic-oil-fired locomotive.  It has roller bearings and weighs 50 tons.  BLW transferred it to the BLW subsidiary Standard Steel Works (S.S.W.).  It was later sold to Wickwire-Spencer Steel Co. at Palmer, Mass., and was bought in 1970 when that plant closed, by Robert Carlson of Newington, CT, who moved it to the Valley Railroad at Essex, CT.  Carlson later sold #10 to Joseph Pagano, Shelburne Falls, Mass.

 

#10 is an interesting footnote to steam loco history-- one of Baldwin's last attempts to deny the rising tide of the diesel locomotive.
