Noel - I've got a number of right and left hand side views of 5601 from
construction to scrapping. Only in the Baldwin Builder's Photograph does the
round Baldwin Builder's Plate show on the left hand side. In all other later
such views there is no builder's plate showing. The plate might've been removed
early in the locomotive's service life during an overhaul or following some kind
of incident. I'm inserting and attaching the Builder's Photograph:
The round builder's plate is located just about directly above
the cylinder. As for 5608, it was the first of 13 additional 4-8-4's that
the Q built themselves at the West Burlington Shops. Baldwin supplied the
boilers. The earlier 5600 through 5607 were all constructed at the Baldwin
Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, PA. Best Regards - Louis

Information on 05 Baldwin Plates for 5600-5608
I
am looking for the information contained on the Baldwin builders plates for 05
engine numbers 5600 thru 5608.
I
would appreciate information on #5601 in particular. I am aware of the W.
Burlington plate on pg 143 of Corbins book, but I need a Baldwin
plate.
Thanks
Noel
