ATSF 4-8-2 #2929 - Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe |
| Description: |
Built by Baldwin during WWII (1944), this Northern type locomotive may be the heaviest passenger locomotive ever built since heavier steel had to be used instead of some of the less dense alloys in short supply. This Northern type locomotive had tall 80" drivers and produced a whopping 300 psi boiler pressure. The class was retired in 1959 after a short 15 years service. A J. W. Hulsman photo. |

| Description: |
Great action shot by R. P. Middlebrook of ATSF 4-8-4 #2929 heading up the Sandiegan passenger train on its way to Los Angeles. Built by Baldwin in 1944, it was one of the heaviest passenger locos built because lighter alloys were in short supply because of WW II. The loco served well until being retired in 1959 and sold for scrap to Luria Brothers. Specs - class 2900, 80" drivers, massive 300 psi, 28x32" cylinders, engine weight of 510,700 lb lb and tractive force of 66,000 lb. |
