| Nice example of a 1942 Baldwin built 4-8-4 Northern. Twenty-three of the twenty-five like this one were coal burners used in freight service with an occasional passenger service when needed. Specs - 74" drivers, impressive 255 psi boiler pressure, 28x31" cylinders, engine weight of 474,040 lb, impressive tractive effort of 71,188 lb. All 25 in the class were "dismissed from service" in October, 1956. Arthur B. Johnson photo |
