FWD 2-8-2 #408 - Fort Worth & Denver  Contributor's Pick!       
Good looking example of the 1915 Baldwin 2-8-2 Mikado built for the Fort Worth & Denver Railway. This is an example of the first Mikado class, E-4A1. Specs - 64" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 27x30" cylinders, engine weight of 273,125 lb, tractive effort of 66,640 lb. With the exception of #401, all 9 in the class were scrapped between 1955-60. Thanks to Brock Jones (see comment below) for helping correct some information on the page, #401 was sold for scrap in May of 1955. #410 was renumbered T&P 400 and ended up as a static display in Marshall, TX. Unknown photographer.

Brock Jones General Slight correction: the 401 was scrapped in 1955. The only remaining locomotive of this class is the 410 which is in Marshall as T&P 400. 4/20/2022 11:22:00 PM
