CNJ 4-4-2 592 "Atlantic Camelback" - Central Railroad of New Jersey
With a larger firebox than current locomotives to burn anthracite coal, the engineer's cab was forced to sit on the side of the boiler. Besides being called a "camelback" the New Jersey railroad also labeled them "Mother Hubbard" while B&O called them "Snapper". Unbelievably fast, they could reach speeds of 90 MPH! Wish Amtrak would look into them!!!!

Stu Nicholson	General	Really nice series of photos, Gary. I especially like your attention to the details and that this isn't just a bunch of 3/4 angle roster shots.	10/24/2012 5:55:02 PM
