Pride Of The Richmond Locomotive Works!

Before competition with Baldwin and other larger manufacturers forced the hands of smaller locomotive builders to merge and form ALCO, the Richmond Locomotive Works introduced this "state-of-the-art" 4-4-0 in the early 1900s.

Employed in main line and short mixed passenger service until as late as the mid-twentieth century, this thoroughly modern American was equipped with cutting-edge technology, such as air brakes, knuckle couplers, and a tapered boiler for improved steam efficiency.
