Train NC2 somewhere on the Fulton District. Can anyone identify this location? This engine is on display at McComb, MS and I wonder if this could be the only picture of it while still in service. From the collection of Fred Goff. |

IC 4-8-2 2542 |
| Description: |
Illinois Central 4-8-2 2542 had been built at the railroad’s shops at Paducah, Kentucky in February 1942 using the boiler from 2-10-2 2906. It has 30x30-cylinders, 70-inch drivers, a boiler pressure of 240 pounds and weighs 409,500 pounds. The 2452 was retired October 1960, following the delivery of the railroad’s first order of GP18’s 9400-9414, and in 1962 it was placed on display in McComb, Mississippi’s EDGEWOOD PARK, where the photo was taken. In 2000 it was transferred to the McCOMB RAILROAD MUSEUM and moved to a sheltered site on the north side of the former IC depot. The 2542 is one of only two preserved IC Mountains, the other being the 2500 at Centralia, Illinois. |

Illinois Central 4-8-2 #2553 |
| Description: |
This is another example of one of the IC Paducah Shops rebuilds from older IC 2-10-2 locos done between 1937-43. This 2500 class was based on the original Alco "Mountain" type locos built in 1923. They had 70" drivers and developed an impressive 240 psi boiler pressure. No location, date or photographer listed for this photo. Looks like it is sitting either in a storage line or scrap line. |
