Shown below is a photo from the fifties of a Boston and Maine P-4 in Bellows Falls, VT. Enjoy!
The engine name is “Camel’s Hump”.
Very nice! You may get to see the one at SteamTown run in a few years or so.
Cheers
If I hadn’t had counted the wheels I would have thought she was a Mountain or Northern Class. She’s BIG!
Thanks for sharing

Nice…that one goes in the collection. Another from your cousin?
Here is the 3713 across the river in North Walpole, NH in 1962, when Steamtown was based there.
Like Fergie, I too thought the 3719 was a Mountain when I first saw the photo. That is one big Pacific and her tender also appears to be larger than most. I never had a chance to see steam power on the eastern roads but did spend the summer of 1975 at Williamstown, MA on the B&M’s Hoosac Tunnel line. Of course it was all diesel by then but there were still lots of trains running, not like the Guilford of today. I spent many a free hour railfanning at North Adams and the east portal of the Hoosac and developed a real liking for the B&M and their blue GP’s.

Just curious, but does anyone know the 3719’s name, posted on the sign along the running board?
