THF120526 / Workers in Front of a Steam Locomotive, circa 1905
01
Artifact Overview
Four workers posed with an 0-4-0 saddletank locomotive. Saddletank engines had their water tanks situated on top of their boilers, rather than in separate tenders. This arrangement shortened the locomotive and increased weight on its driving wheels, making the design ideal for yard work. This crew and locomotive worked on the Delray Terminal Railroad in Detroit, Michigan.
