The Baldwin Class 10-34-E is a class of steam locomotives that were designed and built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works and in a collaboration with the American Locomotive Company, and the Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works.
Several of these locomotives were all built for multiple railroads all across the United States of America between 1883 and 1925.
History Between October 1901 and December 1907, Great Northern Railway ordered a total of 125 locomotives, and operated them in service until the mid 1950s. They operated throughout the GN's system pulling freight trains with some being rebuilt with larger cylinders and higher boiler pressure, giving them more tractive effort. The Great Northern Railway retired the F-8s between 1932 and 1956.
The Fernwood Lumber Company ordered two locomotives and numbered them as 11 and 12. Both were sold to the Fernwood and Gulf Railroad in 1916 with no. 11 operating on the F&G and then sold to the Fernwood, Columbia and Gulf Railroad in 1920. Meanwhile no. 12 operating on the F&G, then sold to the J. J. White Lumber Company and the Kentucky Lumber Company in 1928, then sold to the Birmingham Rail and Locomotive Company and then sold to the FC&G in 1937. Both locomotives were scrapped in 1947.
