I just watched a documentry that talked about the WWI Baldwin steam (2-8-0 I believe) locomotives that were built in France from parts shipped from the us and then used by the US Army in France. Do any of these built in France engines still exist?
There are serveral 2-8-0 SNCJ class 140-C locos in museums in France, some in Cherbourg, some in Mulhouse.
Not sure if they were/are of Baldwin build, however.
Heres a pic of a Baldwin 140-C http://www.gwrarchive.org/site/sitel2pg ... locos.html
and some of the museum 140-C's http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File: ... -TC-19.jpg
During WWII Baldwin again built Consolidations for the Army,United States Army Transportation Corps S160 Class; SNCJ 140-U (USA-TC) of which 121 went to France.
