Milwaukee Road in Kansas City |
| Description: |
CMStP&P L-2 class Mikado 8255 sits by the road's Coburg roundhouse in 1936 in this shot by Charles Winters. The L-2 was a freight standard for the Milwaukee Road; the road acquiring 380 from Alco, Baldwin and its own shops from 1912 through 1923. 8255 came out of Baldwin in 1920 and would later be renumbered as 555. The L-2 class was the largest Milwaukee steam power on their KC line for years; as of 1944 they were rated for 3250 tons eastbound to the first crew change point, at Laredo and only 2250 westbound. |

PRR 8426, L-1S, 1955 |
| Description: |
Miscellany. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Philip R. Hastings that was taken in Renovo, Pennsylvania, in September of 1955. Photo Caption: "Pennsylvania 2-8-2 No. 8426 at Renovo, Pennsylvania." Shown here is PRR engine #8246, an L-1S (2-8-2) "Mikado" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as number "7248" during December of 1916 and renumbered "8426" in February of 1919. In his context, it's being prepared by Renovo workers for stationary steam supply duty at Sunnyside Yard in Queens, New York. This involved converting the boiler to burn fuel oil, removing the main driving rods, and repainting both the engine and its tender. Also note the GM-EMD F-3's in the mid-distance. This photo comes from a color slide set entitled "Steam In Indian Summer" that's produced and distributed by Blackhawk Films of Davenport, Iowa (772-53). |
