Running with a full head of steam is this 1925 Baldwin built Mikado with its string of freight cars stretching into the distance. Specifics - class M-3a, 63" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 27x32" cylinders, 340,510 lbs engine weight, 62,949 lb tractive effort. This loco was scrapped sometime between 1951 and 1955. No date was given so an arbitrary one was used. Photo by H. Hontuck (partially unreadable signature). |
