CB&Q 4-6-2 Class S-1 2834
Title:  CB&Q 4-6-2 Class S-1 2834
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-6-2 Class S-1 2834 at Schenectady, New York, sometime in 1907, photo by the American Locomotive Company, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 2834 was built during 190; as a CB&Q Class S-1, rebuilt during 1925 to CB&Q Class S-1-A, sold for scrap in December 1952. Alco built 15 S-1's during 1907, road numbers 2830-2844.

During 1925 this locomotive was rebuilt with the application of new cylinders and accessories, new main frame and frame crossties, Schmidt superheater, new tube sheets and tbes to suit the superheater, new Walschaerts valve gear, new steam pipes, new front deck plate, new cross-compound air pump, new main axles and main driving boxes,#and a Worthington feedwater heater.

CB&Q 4-6-2 Class S-1 2837
Title:  CB&Q 4-6-2 Class S-1 2837
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-6-2 Class S-1 2837 at (I believe) Schenectady, New York on an unknown day in 1907, photo by Alco, Chuck Zeiler collection. This locomotive was built by Schenectady (Alco) in 1907 (c/n 43482), one of 15 class S-1's (#'s 2830-2844), copies of 30 Baldwin-built class S-1's built in 1906 road #'s 2800-2829. The S-1 class was based on the Class R-5 2-6-2 Prairies, with the tube length increased by 24 inches and the driver diameter increased to 74 inches. The cylinders, driving and trailing axle journals were the same dimensions as the R-5's permitting interchangeability between the two classes. This particular locomotive was rebuilt to Class S-1-A in 1924 and sold for scrap in April 1951. The absence of a headlight suggests that this locomotive was shipped to the CB&Q where the Q's own style of headlight (known among some as a cuckoo headlight because of its shape) would be installed.

ERIE 4-6-2 #2906
Title:  ERIE 4-6-2 #2906
Description:  The loco was built by Alco-Schenectay in July of 1917 and served very successfully in passenger and freight service. It was rebuilt around 1927 with additional features added and its cylinder size changed.. After nearly 31 years of service, it was scrapped in the Erie yard in Meadville, PA on 11/7/1947. Rebuilt specs - K-2-A class, 77" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 26x28" cylinders, Elesco feed water heater and stoker installed, tractive effort of 41,800 lb. I believe this is a Paul Prescott photo.

ERIE 4-6-2 #2907
Title:  ERIE 4-6-2 #2907
Description:  A proud engineer leans out the window of this shiny new Pacific built by Alco-Schenectady in 1917 and classified as an Erie K-2-A loco. On the back of the photo, the unknown photographer wrote "About 1915" but it wasn't built yet. The date would be closer to 1917-18 due to the spotless sheen on the loco.

CNW 4-6-2 #2908 with a rare "Sky Spotlight" - Chicago & North Western
Title:  CNW 4-6-2 #2908 with a rare "Sky Spotlight" - Chicago & North Western
Description:  A much later 1923 E2a class Alco Pacific type loco when compared to #1574 listed earlier, this one carries the proud "Route of the 400" triangular sign on the front. It sported the 79" drivers and a solid 225 psi boiler pressure. Patrick McNamara (see comment below) identified the strange looking angling "canister" on the front above the faceplate as a sky light used to announce the arrival of the crack CNW premier passenger train. Thanks, Patrick, for the info. This is a unique feature I was totally unaware of until now!

Title:  CNW 4-6-2 #2909 - Chicago & North Western
Description:  Here is an example of a 1923 Alco-Schenectady built class E-2 Pacific. A total of 186 were built in a 14 year period making it another large uniform power group on the CNW roster. They all had tall stepping 79" drivers, developed an impressive 225 psi boiler pressure for their 26"x28" cylinders. The engine weight hovered around 295,000 lb and it could produce a medium tractive effort of 45,823 lb. The date is approximate.

ERIE 4-6-2 #2928
Title:  ERIE 4-6-2 #2928
Description:  Still fairly new to the Erie roster is this handsome 4-6-2 Pacific. Built as a heavy USRA 4-6-2 Pacific by Alco-Richmond in March of 1919, this muscle added a much needed boost to the Erie passenger service. It was rebuilt to inclued an Elesco feedwater heater which bumped up the tractive effort some. The loco ended up in it later years as part of the North New Jersey commuter service. After nearly 32 years of service, the loco was scrapped by Luria Bros & Co in Buffalo, NY on 11/17/1950 This is a Paul Prescott photo.

Description:  This is a photo by Paul Prescott of Erie 4-6-2 #2928 in Chicago, IL.

BOSTON & MAINE ROUNDHOUSE
Title:  BOSTON & MAINE ROUNDHOUSE
Description:  The rear wall of the East Somerville roundhouse was glass brick which made the interior very light. The large size of the building makes the rear wall in my shot look almost straight when in fact it is circular (the radious of the rear wall was probably 300 feet but Im guessing. P-2d 3622 was built by Schenectady in 1911 and scrapped Sept. 1956. The engine in front is H-2a 0-8-0 622 which was retained for snow melting until July 1957 but it hadn't been used for switching for a number of years.
