Summary
This is a beautiful photo of one of the last steam locomotives in the Brunswick yard in 1952.
With the introduction of diesel locomotives, which were significantly more efficient and required less maintenance, steam locomotives were phased out during the 1950s. The last steam engine departed from Brunswick in December 1953.
As a result, there was no further need for the coal tipple and roundhouse, which were dismantled in 1981 and 1995, respectively.
Chris Weitzel A quick search says that this engine was probably from the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia.
James S. Bennett Sr. I remember these engines well they would wake me up when they would go buy at night, I’m saying in the early 50s.
