| Nice example of an Alco-Schenectady 2-10-2 Santa Fe type steam locomotive. Built in July of 1920 originally as Boston & Maine #3019, it was renumbered 2905 in October of 1940 with a weight redistribution for added branch usage and reclassed as S-1-c. The loco met the scrapper's torch in December of 1949. Original specs - serial #61975, class S-1a, 61" drivers, 29x32" cylinders, engine weight of 376,800 lb, tractive effort of 71,300 lb. The weight was reduced to 369,200 lb during the redistribution rebuild. Arthur B. Johnson photo |
