PRR 2-8-2 #1374 - Pennsylvania RR |
| Description: |
This is an example from the 574 "Mikado" type locomotives built by PRR between 1914-1917. A member of the L1s class, it had 62" drivers, developed 205 psi boiler pressure for fts 27"x30" cylinders (diameter and stroke). Similar parts were used for these Mikados as were used in the famous class K-4 Pacifics - identical boilers and the same Belpaire firebox as well as many other mechanical parts - thus making repairs much easier.

PRR 2-8-2 #1449 - Pennsylvania RR |
| Description: |
Excellent example of a 1918 PRR Altoona Shops built 2-8-2 Mikado caught at the 28th Street yard in Pittsburgh by an unknown photographer. A long-time PRR engineer claimed in the mid-1920s "the best all-purpose locomotive that had been developed thus far [on the Pennsy] was the L1s. It could run fast, steam easily, ride well, and, despite its rather large size for a Mikado, it was economical to operate." Specs - L1s class, 62" drivers, 204.5 psi boiler pressure, 27x30# cylinders, engine weight of 315,000 lb, tractive effort of 61,315 lb. |
