Baldwin Class 12-28 ¼ E

The Baldwin Class 12-28 ¼ E was a series of 2-8-2 Mikado type steam locomotives built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for several narrow-gauge railroads. The design dates to the 1910s, with East Broad Top number 12, Millie, built in December 1911 and classified by that railroad as a Baldwin 12-28 E-1, and an updated version was drawn up in the 1930s with 44-inch driving wheels, 17 by 22 inch cylinders, a boiler pressure of 205 psi and a tractive effort of 25,200 pounds-force. Crews often called the class Hog because of its high fuel consumption. Four locomotives of the class remain in preservation, and the White Pass and Yukon Route examples numbers 70 to 72 had several accidents in Alaska and Yukon service.
