Built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1944, this loco and its sisters received all the benefits of research and testing making them highly evolved and efficient locomotives. The engine was colorfully trimmed and graceful in appearance, with a blunted cap covering the smokebox door. This feature inspired the nickname "Bullet-Nosed Betty". Specs - class U-1-f, 73" drivers, impressive 260 psi boiler pressure, 24x30" cylinders, engine weight of 365,700 lb, tractive effort of 52,313 lb. Unknown photographer |
