Skookum - Baldwin 2-4-4-2

This little 2-4-4-2 Mallet was the first of this wheel arrangement, and one of only three manufactured by Baldwin.  She was originally built for the Little River Railroad company in Townsend, Tennessee in 1909, carrying number 126.  At that point her odyssey began.  Over the years she worked for a number of roads, ending her career on her side in the woods in 1955.

Fortunately, she was salvaged by a group of railfans in 1956.  She has remained to this day in disassembled form, awaiting her restoration.  This Skookum archive is divided into the following pages.
