Gary, what necessitated the need for the big box sand dome?…..was it simply a lack of volume that required the larger box?….were they just plain running out of sand during a run?..I’ve never studied the B&A Hudsons, so I’m only speculating,…

1.54% ruling grade heading west over the Berkshire mountain range. Even with the small drivers the J2 received they would still need helpers out of Chester Mass. As Dave mentioned there were a few trips with NYC Hudson’s but not often. Even the Berkshire engines need the extra sand. Towards the end of steam, there were a lot of Mohawks that visited. If the Berks were the perfect engine for the hills the Mohawks were a close second. The last steam run out of Boston was by a L3 in March 1951. I have a video of it.
