Description |
This is a 3/4 engineer's side view of Eastern Railroad's second #19 "Salem," a 4-4-0 in circa 1882. This locomotive was built by the Rhode Island Locomotive Works in 1882. Number 19 was built with 17x22 cylinders. This locomotive was renumbered 119 and renamed "Mayflower" by the Boston & Maine Railroad when they leased the Eastern in 1883. The B&M scrapped #19 in 1907. When this photograph was taken, the "Salem" was about to embark on the first shipment of canned corn from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregan. This photo came from the Boston & Maine Railroad's Marketing Department and was complied by Benjamin Thomas. One image is in sepia tone, the second and third photo is grayscale, though the third image is of the highest quality. |
