Title:  IC 2-10-2 #2809 - Illinois Central
Description:  Here is an example of a Lima built 2-10-2 built between 1920-23 that underwent a major rebuild by the IC Paducah shops in 1944-45. The loco was then renumbered 2809. The 20 rebuilt 2-10-2's were eventually scrapped between 1957-62. One sideline note - the IC didn't call this 2-10-2 wheel configuration a "Santa Fe" loco like most railroads did. They preferred the term "Central" for the 2-10-2 config. No date, location or photographer was given for the photo so approximates were used.
