Description

A series of Baldwin 4-6-OT side tank locomotives takes in water from a water tank. The rectangular tanks in which the locomotives carried their water can be seen on the left hand side of each one. Wide and narrow gauge railways had to be constructed around the Somme battlefield when wet weather made roads impassable for men, horses and motor vehicles.
