CO Experimental Steam Turbine #500 |
| Description: |
Interesting front view of the experimental steam turbine built by Baldwin and Westinghouse as a possible alternative to the traditional coal burning steam locomotive. Only three were built and proved expensive to operate and mechanically unreliable. Nevertheless, it's an interesting footnote to railroading. The unknown photographer's notes were more extensive on the camera settings than the loco - Ciroflex "B" camera, 1/25th sec exposure, f/10, EXX film, film size 120, taken at 2:45pm, printed on paper #4 |
