The Baldwin Class 10-32-D was a class of 4-6-0 "Ten-Wheeler" type steam locomotives that were built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for several railroads all across the United States of America between 1915 and 1927.[1]

History

Construction and delivery

In all, many Baldwin Class 10-32-D were constructed by the Baldwin Locomotive Works between 1915 and 1927 and they were all delivered to their respective railroads all across the United States of America after their day of construction.[1]

Design

These locomotives had 62-inch diameter driving wheels, a boiler pressure of 180 psi (1.2 MPa), Walschaerts valve gear, 18 in × 26 in (460 mm × 660 mm) to 19 in × 26 in (480 mm × 660 mm), and tractive effort ranging from 24,786–28,158 lbf (110.25–125.25 kN).[1]

Their tenders could hold from 8 to 11 tons of coal and 4,500 to 5,000 gallons of water. These locomotives weighed in from 63.5 to 71 tons (108.5 to 141 tons with tenders).[1]

Preservation

As of today, a total of six examples of this class of locomotive are still left in preservation.
