GCRY 2-8-0 #29 - Grand Canyon Rwy |
| Description: |
Here is another 2-8-0 Consolidation type steam locomtoive that served the Grand Canyon Rwy tourist line at Williams, AZ. Built by Alco-Pittsburgh in May of 1906 as Lake Superior & Ishpheming #14, it was renumbered in 1924 to LSI #29. Like its sister LSI #18, it was retired in 1956 and eventually sold in 1963 to the Marquette & Huron tourist train. In 1985 it was sold to a private owner, who in turn sold it to the Grand Canyon Railway (GCR) four years later. GCR returned No. 29 to service in April 1990, and the locomotive pulled the railway's passenger trains between Williams, Arizona and the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. As of 2024, No. 29 is out of service, undergoing a boiler inspection. This is a Jim Lockart slide. |
