I tend to think of a "Mallet" locomotive as a Swiss or European accomplishment. Jules T. Anatole Mallet was a Swiss mechanical engineer; the first "Mallet arrangement" locomotive was used in France in 1876. The American copies came much later (1904?) and as has been mentioned, typically didn't utilize compounding (steam used at two different pressures).

One must be very careful around here :)

With respect to "great American accomplishment" was referring to the non-Mallet or non-compounded articulated (separate-trucks-not-hinged-in-the-middle) locomotives built by the likes of Baldwin et al. and as displayed with award at the California Railroad Museum in Cab Forward design. Pretty *****in nonetheless!!!

BTW - 3985 is the one I saw on Cajon - IIRC - it was pulling a bunch of vintage passenger cars but had to helped in the braking department by a 1950's era diesel electric.

On the subject of locomotives, I used to actually ride this one as a kid (it was our way of getting to and from town since we didn't have a car in the place where we spent our summers). Anyone recognize it?

The "storage barn" for the engine was at the end of our road so sometimes me and some other young kids would sneak in there when they'd "put it away for the night" just to check it out. I LOVED this train! Nothing like riding along with the smell of coal in the air and the thundering sound of the locomotive chugging away. Something probably very few people have ever gotten to experience in their lives. I'm grateful to have had the chance. Trains are awesome.

Here's a couple more to see if anyone can place it:

Pennsylvania, on the Wanemaker, Kempton, and Southern. They ran a 2-6-2 "Prairie" until '67 or so. It later wound up with the Hobo Railroad in Lincoln, NH. I think it's still around somewhere.
