Rivarossi R5449 B&A Class J-2a 4-6-4 Hudson Locomotive #604

The Boston & Albany purchased twenty Hudsons, ten from the American Locomotive Company and ten from the Lima Locomotive Works. These locomotives were bought in three orders: one in 1928 for five Class J-2a (road numbers 600 through 604) from ALCO, a second in 1930, for five Class J-2b (road numbers 605 through 609) also from ALCO and a third in 1931, for ten Class J-2c (road numbers 610 through 619) from Lima.

These 4-6-4s were very similar to all the other NYC system Hudsons and they had 25 x 28 cylinders, 75" drivers, a 240 psi boiler pressure (later reduced to 225 psi) and exerted 47,600 lbs of tractive effort.
