| Nice example of a 1929 Milwaukee Shops workmanship. This loco was rebuilt by them from a 1910 Alco-Schenectady class N-1 #9524. Specs - N3-s class, 57" drviers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 21.5x30" cylinders, engine weight of 390,300 lb, impressive tractive effort of 82,718 lb. The entire class was enumbered in 1938 to the 50-66 range. Jim Scribbins (in Drury, 1993) notes that these engines had the highest tractive effort of any Milwaukee Road (by then the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, & Pacific) class. Note the unusual "cobra hood" in front like the B&M locos had. No photographer, locaiton or date listed for this photo. |
