Caught with a head of steam in the Landers Yard in Chicago, IL, by an unknown photographer, this 1917 Alco built 2-10-2 Santa Fe type steam locomotive is the essence of power. Specs - L-1 class, 64" drivers, 195 psi boiler pressure, 29x32" cylinders, engine weight of 395,000 lb, tractive effort of 69,698 lb.

WAB 2-10-2 #2516 - Wabash RR |
| Description: |
Built by Alco-Brooks in July of 1917, this Wabash 2-10-2 Santa Fe type steam locomotive #2516 was a workhorse on the Wabash until being sold to Missouri Pacific in August of 1942. It became MP #1718 but after some rebuilding, the boiler pressure was dropped to 200 psia and the tractive effort fell to 72,620 lb. Sadly the loco received an unwanted Christmas present by being scrapped by MP on 12/24/1952 at Sedalia, MO. Specs - serial #57568, class L-1, 63"(64") drivers, 210 psi boiler pressure, 29x32" cylinders, engine weight of 395,000 lb, tractive effort of 75,079 lb. No date, location or photographer was given for the photo. Eric Reinert helped identify the location as Decatur, IL. I believe the date is near its sale date of 1942. |
