IC 2-8-2 #1758 - Illinois Central |
Description: |
Such a sad sight to see this once proud 2-8-2 Mikado sitting in a scrap line at Proviso, IL. Built by Baldwin in July of 1911 as Illinois Central #1611 (serial #36646), it was rebuilt and renumbered by the IC shops in April of 1944 to IC #1613. Then in April of 1951, it was renumbered again to IC #1758 as seen here. After nearly 44 years of service, the loco was sold for scrap in May of 1955. Original specs - 63" drivers, 175 psi boiler pressure, 27x30" cylinders, engine weight of 283,850 lb, tractive effort of 51,637 lb. No photographer was listed for the photo. |

UP MacA-63 2281 |
Description: |
Union Pacific Railroad MacA-63 2281 at an unknown location on an unknown date, photo by Dick Rumbolz, Chuck Zeiler collection. This is another unmarked negative that I purchased from Dick Rumbolz in 1965. The date entered is based on the retirement date, the location is based on most of the UP photos I have from Dick Rumbolz were shot in Council Bluffs. According to utahrails.net, This locomotive was built by Baldwin in March 1918 (c/n 48143) and was a coal burner. It was originally classed as MK-63, during WWII it was re-classed as MacA-65 (MacArthur class). It was retired in July 1954. It appears that the trailing locomotive is 9000, a 4-12-2 that was saved. That might help narrow down the location. I don't believe the 4-12-2's were allowed to go to Council Bluffs. |

ERIE 2-10-2 #4013 & ERIE 2-8-2 #3000 |
Description: |
Great action shot of a double-header pulling a string of freiight cars that disappear into the distance. Lead loco #4013 was a 1916 Alco built "Santa Fe" type locomotive. According to www.Steamlocomtoive.com "Their rough riding qualities were problematical until revised counterbalancing smoothed the way. All of the Erie's 2-10-2s were renowned for their great power, whether as road engines or pushers." ERIE #3000 was a 1911 Baldwin product, the first of its N-1 class to be built. No date given for this action shot so an arbitrary one was used. Unknown photographer. |
