Title:
BLW 0-6-6-0/1 DE #2460 - Baldwin Russian Export
Description:
Great Baldwin builder's photo of a very rare diesel. According to one online source, "At the end of WWII the US Armed Services ordered 30 road freight diesels for export to Russia to help rebuild the Russian railroad system. They were Baldwin's first export diesels. These 1000 hp units were powered with an 8 cylinder VO engine and rode on 5 foot gauge Commonwealth C-type trucks. This model was only built for the Russian export order and was designated Baldwin class "0-6-6-0 1000/1 DE". The Russian's called these Class Db." Before shipping, the units were lettered USA #2460-2489 but on delivery the Russians renumbered them as Db-20-71 to Db-20-100.
