WAB 4-8-2 #2805 - Wabash RR         
Fairly nice original photo or older reprint of Wabash 4-8-2 Mountain type locomotive built by Baldwin in November of 1929. After over 30 years of service, the entire class of 25 M1 locos was scrapped between 1953-55 to make room for the more efficient diesels. Wabash #2805 met the scrapper's torch in September of 1955. Specs - serial #61154, class M1, 70" drivers, 235 psi boiler pressure, 27x32" cylinders, engine weight of 406,400 lb, tractive effort of 66,568 lb. No date or photographer was lsited for the photo so an approximate date was used.
