GTW 4-8-2 #6037 - Grand Trunk Western |
| Description: |
Built by Baldwin in 1925 as CN 6037, this class (U-1c) of 5 locos was the only Mountain type 4-8-2's that GTW had after CN assigned them to the Grand Trunk. Steamtown's history notes that these engines were delivered with feedwater heaters (Elesco K-39), power reverse gear, and automatic or mechanical stokers. They were the first GTW locomotives to offer both the all-weather cab and the Vanderbilt tender. The railroad soon added a trailing axle to the design, creating some relatively light 4-8-4s. This loco lasted until being sold for scrap in June of 1961. Specs - U-1c class, 73" drivers, 210 psi boiler pressure, 26x30" cylinders, engine wt 354,110 lb, tractive effort of 49,589 lb.

GTW 4-8-2 #6037 - Grand Trunk Western |
| Description: |
While a crew member checks the water level on the Vanderbilt tender, another checks the trailing truck while the third crew member leans out the window to check on their progress. This is a well maintained 1925 Baldwin built Mountain type 4-8-2. Only 5 were built for the GTW - some were later refitted with an additional trailing axle making it a 4-8-4. Can't quite tell if this one was converted or not. Al Paterson photo |
