The Class H of the Cape May & Northern was the prototype of the 4-8-4 "Northern" steam locomotives on the CM&N. Only one of these locomotives were ever built. This was done at the CM&N's Camden Shops. It was completed in 1933, mostly being of new parts by Camden and Baldwin, but some parts salvaged from old locomotives as it was only a prototype. The locomotive was used for tests until 1934, when it was officially inaugurated into service, and given the number 700. The following H-1 and H-2 classes would continue in the 700 series.

Tourist Service

they pushed it around with a diesel on a backwoods tourist railroad for a while. then the backwoods tourist railroad tried to scrap it but the city of vineland bought it.

Preservation

the city put it outside of Romano Park. it fell into disrepair and the CM&N Historical Society cosmetically restored it in 2002. In 2005, the engine was loaned to the CM&N Historical Society and they put it in the vineland railroad museum or somethin like that.
