Title:
Chesapeake Beach Railway #10
Description:
Built by the Burnham, Williams & Company subsidiary of the Baldwin Locomotive Works in April of 1901 with construction number #18879, #10 was constructed as part of an order of sixteen new 2-8-0 Consolidations from the Burnham, Williams & Company built between 1901 and 1903 for the Western Maryland Railroad. Classified as an H-4 by the Western Maryland, the locomotive was numbered #101 and was the class leader of the bunch. Due to the Western Maryland's system wide renumbering program in 1906, #101 was renumbered #401 along with all it's sister locomotives following suit. The locomotive worked on the Western Maryland Railway out of the company's Knobmont Yard in Maryland Junction, West Virginia. The locomotive served the Western Maryland faithfully until October of 1930 when the engine was sold to the Chesapeake Beach Railway along with sister engine #409. When delivered to the Chesapeake Beach, the engine was repainted and renumbered #10 along with sister #409 which became #9. The two locomotives main purpose for being purchased by the railroad was to haul materials for the construction of public roads throughout Charles County including Chesapeake Beach. This being said, this locomotive along with #9 indirectly caused the financial ruin of the line by creating a gateway for the company's biggest competitor; the personal automobile. With the highways built and the railroad in financial ruin, old #10 was supposed to be returned to the Western Maryland Railway like sister engine #9. This never happened and #10 met it's end in August of 1936 after the bankruptcy and abandonment of the line in 1935. This photograph shows locomotive #10 and presumably Baldwin 4-6-0 #7 parked in the deadline at the Seat Pleasant, Maryland, Shops in the mid 1930's. Date is an estimate. Photographer unknown.

Title:
Chesapeake Beach Railway #7
Description:
Built by the Burnham, Williams & Company subsidiary of the Baldwin Locomotive Works in January of 1891 with construction number #14683, #7 was originally owned by the New York, Philadelphia & Norfolk Railway as their 2nd #14 and hauled passenger trains all across Virginia's Eastern Shore until 1916 when it was sold to the Southern Iron & Equipment Company locomotive re seller of Atlanta, Georgia, in 1916. Assigned inventory number #1037 while owned by the SI&E Company, the locomotive was sold to the Brooklyn Cooperage Company's Butler County Railroad as their #11 located in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, on July 14, 1916. However, the locomotive was returned to the SI&E Company later that year after being considered surplus power and was assigned inventory number #1039. On March 13, 1917, the locomotive was sold to the Chesapeake Beach Railway and numbered #7 and served on the railway hauling passenger trains until the bankruptcy of the line in 1935. It was actually still on the property when the East Washington Railway assumed freight operations on the line from Chesapeake Junction in Washington D.C. to Seat Pleasant, Maryland, in 1936. The engine was probably used as a parts engine and was finally scrapped in February of 1942. This Charles E. Winters photographs shows #7 sitting in the deadline at the Seat Pleasant, Maryland, shops on June 3, 1935. Note the date as being after the Chesapeake Beach when their final train in April of 1935.

Title:
Danville & Western Railway #18
Description:
Built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in May of 1885 with construction number #7603, #18 was originally built for the Buffalo, New York & Philadelphia Railroad of Rochester, New York, as their second number #89. With the reorganization of the BNY&P in late 1885, the locomotive was transferred over to the Western New York & Philadelphia Railroad as #89 until the newly incorporated railroad could properly stage a system wide renumbering program. Officially commencing in 1891, This new renumbering process caused #89 to now adopt the number #108 as it's official identification. The locomotive served the Western New York & Philadelphia Railroad through the company's reorganization in 1895 until being sold to the Southern Iron & Equipment Company of Atlanta, Georgia, in 1903 after the Pennsylvania Railroad takeover on August 1, 1900. The Southern Iron & Equipment Company assigned the locomotive inventory number #275 and eventually resold the locomotive on August 7, 1903, to the Danville & Western Railway which assigned the engine number #18. The locomotive served the railroad faithfully pulling both freight and passengers on the mainline from Staurt, Virginia, and Stokesland, Virginia, and on the Leaksville Branch from Leaksville Junction, Virginia, to Leaksville, North Carolina until being retired and scrapped in April of 1935. This photograph displays #18 utilizing the company's trackage rights over the Southern Railway in downtown Danville, Virginia, during the Great War. Month and year are correct. Exact date is an estimate.

Title:
Danville & Western Railway #20
Description:
Built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in October of 1905 with construction number #26574, #20 would spend it's entire career hauling freight trains on the Danville & Western Railway between Stokesland, Virginia, and Staurt, Virginia. The locomotive was used alongside sister ten wheeler #21 until the end of steam on the D&W with the purchase of several RS-2s from the American Locomotive Works in the late 1940's. With the absorption into the Southern Railway system at the same time, the D&W was consolidated into the operations of the Carolina & North-Western Railway and labelled the Martinsville Division. Photographs exist of this locomotive in North Carolina working on the C&N-W although I've never seen any. This photograph was probably taken at the Southern Railway's Dundee yards in Northern Danville, Virginia, where the D&W had trackage rights. Date is an estimate. Photographer unknown.
