| Here is an interesting example of an Illinois Central Paducah Shops mash up between two older locomtives to achieve something that neither could do. The Shops mated cylinders from an older Lima built 2-10-2 (2900 class) with the boiler from an older 2-8-2 (1500 class) giving rise to this 2-10-0 Decapod #3613. Specs - 64.5" drivers, 225 psi boiler pressure, 30x32" cylinders, engine weight of 325,000 lb, tractive effort of 85,395 lb. No date, location or photographer was listed for this photo. |
