How many steam engines were streamlined for the Black Diamond? And what happened to these engines?
The LV had a total of five streamlined 4-6-2 Pacifics.
Two locos were streamlined for the John Wilkes in 1939, both Baldwins.
2101
2102
Then three for the Black Diamond in 1940.
2089
2093
2097
2089 was the last Sayre Built engine, 2093 and 2097 were Alcos.
All received their shrouds in Sayre, they were not built with them when new.
all later had their shrouds removed, and operated as non-streamlined engines again before being scrapped..
sadly, ALL LV steam locomotives have been scrapped, there is not one single survivor.
