BM 4-8-2 #4106 - Boston & Maine RR |
Description: |
Named "Little John" in the B&M sponsored contest, this brute is similar to its namesake, a real powerhouse in disguise. Built by Baldwin in 1937 along with 17 others, the R-1 class served the B&M well through the war years. In 1947, this unit and several of its sisters were sold to the B&O and renumbered 5606. No location or photographer were listed for this photo and the date is an approximation. |

BM 4-8-2 #4116 - Boston & Maine |
Description: |
Named "American Progress" in the naming contest held by the Boston & Maine when the loco was delivered, it was an appropriate name since this was the epitome of a Mountain type locomotive. It was built by Baldwin in June of 1941 during WWII but the loco only served the B&M about 14 years before being scrapped in September of 1955. Specs - serial #62539, class R-1d, 73" drivers, 28x31" cylinders, engine weight of 415,200 lb, tractive effort of 67,900 lb. Unknown photographer |

SLSF 4-8-2 #4404Accident - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco) |
Description: |
A chilling description of the accident was written on the back of the photo by photographer Arhur B. Johnson. "Frisco 4-8-2 #4404 pulling the "Bluebonnet' #8, Oct 5, 1947 about 4:30am running a little late in heavy fog. Engineer became lost due to fog and didn't know he was on the Nichols curve, which he hit at 60 or more, when it should have been 30 mph. Engine flipped, killing fireman. No passengers hurt. Engine rebuilt & returned to service Dec, 1947." |

SLSF 4-8-2 #4404 Accident - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco) |
Description: |
A note on the back of the photo states "Frisco 4402 with wrecker at #8 wreck, Nichols, MO, oct 5 1947. Too much speed on curve due to engineer being lost in fog." The accident was definitely a scene of onlookers. How the Frisco shops were able to restore this loco by December of 1947 after this in October of 1947 is miraculous. Arthur B. Johnson photo |

Description: |
Heading up a long string of passenger cars is this massive 4-8-2 Mountain type steam locomotive Frisco #4416. Built by the Frisco West Springfield Shops in 1939 from 2-10-2 parts, this versatile loco was at ease equally well heading up a string of passenger cars or a long string of freight cars. Arthur B.

GTW 4-8-2 #6037 - Grand Trunk Western |
Description: |
Built by Baldwin in 1925 as CN 6037, this class (U-1c) of 5 locos was the only Mountain type 4-8-2's that GTW had after CN assigned them to the Grand Trunk. Steamtown's history notes that these engines were delivered with feedwater heaters (Elesco K-39), power reverse gear, and automatic or mechanical stokers. They were the first GTW locomotives to offer both the all-weather cab and the Vanderbilt tender. The railroad soon added a trailing axle to the design, creating some relatively light 4-8-4s. This loco lasted until being sold for scrap in June of 1961. Specs - U-1c class, 73" drivers, 210 psi boiler pressure, 26x30" cylinders, engine wt 354,110 lb, tractive effort of 49,589 lb. Taken at the Elsdon Yard in Chicago by an unknown photographer.nknown photographer |

GTW 4-8-2 #6037 - Grand Trunk Western |
Description: |
While a crew member checks the water level on the Vanderbilt tender, another checks the trailing truck while the third crew member leans out the window to check on their progress. This is a well maintained 1925 Baldwin built Mountain type 4-8-2. Only 5 were built for the GTW - some were later refitted with an additional trailing axle making it a 4-8-4. Can't quite tell if this one was converted or not. Al Paterson photo |
