(erielack) Steam Power That Never Was

The discussion regarding 4-8-4s reminded me of those designs that
Baldwin did for the Erie in the '20s or 30s for a 2-10-4 and 2-6-6-4,
printed in Stauffer's Erie Power.  Did the DL&W consider modern
articulateds before going with FTs?  Imagine something like an N&W Y-6
operating out of Scranton.  But also imagine that Erie 2-6-6-4 storming
east out of Hornell with a solid block of yellow reefers, with the big
white diamond on its long tender.  What might have been.   Jim Gerofsky
