RFP 4-8-4 #553, "General J.E.B. Stuart" - Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac RR
Title:  RFP 4-8-4 #553, "General J.E.B. Stuart" - Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac RR
Description:  This is an example of one of the most elegant steam locomotives that Baldwin ever built. When delivered in 1936, RFP refused to use the term "Northerns" for the mighty 4-8-4 configuration. Instead they chose the class label of "Generals" for the first five with each one named after a Virginia Civil War general like this one for General Jeb Stuart. Specifics - 77" drivers, 275 psi boiler pressure, 27x30" cylinders, 466,040 lb engine weight, 66,391 lb tractive effort. No photographer was listed for this photo nor an exact date.

RFP 4-8-4 #554, "General A.P Hill" - Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac RR
Title:  RFP 4-8-4 #554, "General A.P Hill" - Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac RR
Description:  Here is another example of a 1936 Baldwin built 4-8-4 "General" class (RFP refused to call them "Northerns" possibly because the southern influence was still strong in 1936!). This one bore the name "General A.P. Hill", another of Virginia's esteemed Civil War Generals. Specifics - 77" drivers, 275 psi boiler pressure, 27x30" cylinders, 466,040 lb engine weight, 66,391 lb tractive effort.

RFP 4-8-4 #555, "General J.E. Johnson" - Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac
Title:  RFP 4-8-4 #555, "General J.E. Johnson" - Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac
Description:  This is another fine example of the 1936 Baldwin built 4-8-4 "Generals" class locomotive, this one named after Virginia's Civil War Generals, J.E. Johnson". According to one source, "Amazingly, they (the 4-8-4's) were several inches too wide to properly clear the tunnels in Washington. More importantly they had too heavy of an axle-load to traverse the Long Bridge. These two factors forever consigned these beautiful engines to the Virginia side of the river and freight service. Although they were pressed into emergency passenger service on occasion, they always stayed on the south side of the river." Specifics - 77" drivers, 275 psi boiler pressure, 27x30" cylinders, 466,040 lb engine weight, 66,391 lb tractive effort. No date, location or photographer was listed for this beautiful photograph.

RFP 4-8-4 #602 - Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac
Title:  RFP 4-8-4 #602 - Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac
Description:  Fairly nice Baldwin builder's photo of the RFP 4-8-4 #602. The sleek and powerful 4-8-4's built by Baldwin for the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac were named after important generals, governors and statesmen. #602 was no exception, carrying the name "Governor Thomas Jefferson".

Description:  This is the reverse side of the Baldwin builder's card on the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac 4-8-4 #602.

RFP 4-8-4 #604, "Governor Benjamin Harrison" - Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac RR
Title:  RFP 4-8-4 #604, "Governor Benjamin Harrison" - Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac RR
Description:  After the first five 4-8-4's were delivered to the RF&P, the next six nearly identical locomotives to the Generals were labeled "Governor's" class and named after a Virginia governor, hence the name for this one being "Governor Benjamin Harrison". Specifics - 77" drivers, 275 psi boiler pressure, 27x30" cylinders, 466,040 lb engine weight, 66,391 lb tractive effort. No photographer was identified for this photograph.

RFP 4-8-4 #613 - "Automatic Train Control"
Title:  RFP 4-8-4 #613 - "Automatic Train Control"
Description:  Here is another Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Northern wearing the "Automatic Train Control" sign signifying that it has the Pulse Code Cab Signal that was developed by Union Switch & Signal Co for the Pennsy, a much simpler, older version of in-cab signaling. No date or photographer was listed for this photo.

RFP 4-8-4 #613 - "Automatic Train Control"
Title:  RFP 4-8-4 #613 - "Automatic Train Control"
Description:  Here is another view of the front of the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Northern showing the "Automatic Train Control" sign on the front. Developed by Union Switch & Signal for the PRR, it was an early attempt at in-cab signals along the simplistic idea of the modern Postive Train Control. No date or photographer was listed for this photo.

RFP 4-8-4 #619 - "Automatic Train Control"
Title:  RFP 4-8-4 #619 - "Automatic Train Control"
Description:  Sporting the "Automatic Train Control" sign is this 1944 Baldwin 4-8-4 Northern built as RFP #619. Much like a very early Positive Train Control system of today, Automatic Train Control was a system designed in 1922 by Union Switch & Signal for the PRR who called it Pulse Code Cab Signal. Itvworked by sending metered pulses along an existing AC track circuit operating at a chosen carrier frequency. The pulses were detected via induction by a sensor hanging a few inches above the rail before the leading set of wheels. The codes would be transmitted to the train from the block limit in front of it. This way if the rail was broken or another train entered the block, any codes would not reach the approaching train and the cab signal would again display "Restricting". No date or photographer was listed for this photo.

RFP 4-8-4 #619 - "Automatic Train Control"
Title:  RFP 4-8-4 #619 - "Automatic Train Control"
Description:  Here is another view of Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac 4-8-4 #619 wearing the "Automatic Train Control" sign denoting the use of Pulse Code Cab Signal system designed by Union Swithc & Signal in 1922 for stopping trains. This early, simplistic system is the forerunner of the modern Postive Train Control system of today. The system is failsafe in that the lack of code would display a Restricting signal. The codes would be transmitted to the train from the block limit in front of it. This way if the rail was broken or another train entered the block, any codes would not reach the approaching train and the cab signal would again display Restricting. No date or photographer was listed for this photo.
