| Title: |
Illinois Central 2-10-2 #2819 |
| Description: |
Originally built by Lima in 1923, it was rebuilt and renumbered by IC. The 2-10-2 wheel arrangement was usually labeled as "Santa Fe" but with the 125 ordered from Lima they were known as "Centrals" instead. Used for freight hauling, this class was torn apart & rebuilt by the IC Paducah shops into different wheel arrangements like 2-8-2, 2-10-0, 4-8-2 and even 0-10-0. The class was scrapped between 1958-62. |
