| Title: |
Illinois Central 2-10-2 #2819 |
| Description: |
Originally built by Lima in 1923, it was rebuilt and renumbered by IC. The 2-10-2 wheel arrangement was usually labeled as "Santa Fe" but with the 125 ordered from Lima they were known as "Centrals" instead. Used for freight hauling, this class was torn apart & rebuilt by the IC Paducah shops into different wheel arrangements like 2-8-2, 2-10-0, 4-8-2 and even 0-10-0. The class was scrapped between 1958-62. |

| Title: |
IC 2-10-2 #3004 - Illinois Central |
| Description: |
Long before a GP40 wore the number 3004, this Lima 2-10-2 Santa Fe type locomotive built in January of 1923 held the number, IC #3004. The IC Shops rebuilt the loco in October of 1943 and renumbered it to IC 2727. It fell to the scrapper's torch after retirement in December of 1959. Original loco specs from SteamLocomotives.com - 63" drivers, 190 psi boiler pressure, 30x32" cylinders, engine weight of 382,000 lb, tractive effort of 73,829. Part of the 2901 class were rebuilt into 4-8-2's while the rest had many improvements along the way including raising the boiler pressure to 240 psi. Several differences in online resources can be attributed to the various upgrades that were applied to some and not others over several years. No photographer was listed for this photo. |
