Camelbacks were steam engines that had their cabs at the middle of the boiler instead of the back. While many railroads had Camelbacks, it is the New Jersey Central that is probably best known for running them. For decades, Camelbacks pulled freight trains and even the famous Blue Comet passenger train along New Jersey's rails. When it comes to identifying steam locomotives, most people start counting wheels, but when railfans see a Camelback, they know right away what they are looking at.
