Jawn Henery Boiler

[NW Mailing List]

Unlike the conventional locomotive boilers we are used to, it was rectangular in shape. Also had a moving grate – coal in one end and ashes out the other.     Jim Nichols

I have to check, but I believe that in the book written on the Jawn, there was a diagram of the boiler.

It may also be in a book titled the N&W the last 25 years of steam.  All my books are in boxes 

so it will take a while to find them.  Perhaps someone else may have better access.

Well,,, this is my first attempt at this N&W mailing list thingie, and the instructions did say to ask questions..

I remember the "Jawn Henry" in the Bluefield yards in the late 50's, I can also remember conversation from the shop people about the high pressure boiler and their fear of it's 600 lbs of pressure. I was told that it had a Marine "M" type B&W water tube boiler. My question is; what type of boiler was used and are drawings available?

 

Thank you;

Gene Arnold
