Here is a fine example of power in action. Built by Baldwin in 1941 (Santa Fe class 3776), it had high stepping 80" drivers and generated a whopping 300 psi boiler pressure to deliver to its 28"x32" cylinders. Its engine weight was 494,630 lb and could produce a tractive effort of 79,968 lb. W. J. Kearns photo Date and location are approximate. |
