English: Builders photo of 2-6-2T Class S51 suburban passenger locomotive.
Data from"Suburban Engine for the Long Island Railroad", Railway and Locomotive Engineering, Volume 17, No 9 (September 1904), p. 397; and DeGolyer, Volume 26, p. 269.. See also Milton J. Foreman, , William Augustus Evans, Paul P Bird, Gilbert E Ryder, Herbert H Evans, The Electrification of Railway Terminals (Chicago: R R Donnelly & Sons, 1908), p 77; and E E R Tratman, "Tank Locomotives", Official Proceedings of the Western Railway Club (Chicago: W F Hall Printing Company, 1903), pp. 342 et seq; Baldwin works numbers 23929-23930, 24008 in March 1904 and 24056, 24082 in April. R&LE's report spun the high factor of adhesion (5.74) positively, saying it showed "that these Long Island engines are very sure footed passenger train pullers." Pipes leading forward to the side tanks allowed all three to be filled from the rear one and vent pipes let air escape, preserving a uniform water level between all three tanks. Notwithstanding thes virtues, this locomotive was cited as one of many examples of tank locomotives whose characteristics were decried as dirty and inefficient in this promotion of electrification. This class was sold to the Central of New Jersey in November 1911 as their class J-1 (220-224), joining the 20 engines of identical design purchased in 1902. . |
