One of the twenty Hudson class J-2 locomotives built by the American Locomotive Company and Lima for the Boston & Albany. Distinctive for their square and domes made necessary by the heavy ruling grades over the Berkshires. It took lots of steam and sand to pull trains such as "New England States Express", "The Wolverine", "20th Century Limited" and others over the western Massachusetts hills to Boston.
