YV 4-4-0 #22 - Yosemite Valley RR
Title:  YV 4-4-0 #22 - Yosemite Valley RR
Description:  Alco-Rogers built a pair of these 4-4-0 American type steam locomotives for Yosemite Valley RR as #22 and #23. The locos served until 1948 when at least #22 was scrapped. Still looks good but with parts missing, it appears to be sitting in the scrap line. Specs - serial #43167, class 22, 63" drivers, modest 165 psi boiler pressure, 18x26" cylinders, modest engine weight of 110,000 lb, very modest tractive effort of 18,753 lb. The little loco was scrapped in 1948. No date, location or photographer was listed for the photo. Although the correct reporting mark is YVRR, that current belongs to Yadkin Valley so I have listed it both as YVRR and just YV.

YV 4-4-0 #23 - Yosemite Valley Railroad
Title:  YV 4-4-0 #23 - Yosemite Valley Railroad
Description:  Built by Alco-Rogers in 1907, this loco and its sister #22, were seen as the "modern" power for transporting visitors into Yosemite National Park. It's serial number was 44389, and had 63" drivers, created 165 psi boiler pressure for its 18"x26" cylinders and produced 18,753 lbs tractive effort, enough to pull the short trains into the park. No photographer listed.

BAR 4-6-0 #68 Boiler Explosion
Title:  BAR 4-6-0 #68 Boiler Explosion
Description:  Nice older photo of the remains of BAR #68 after a boiler explosion some time in 1895. Specs - D-1 class, 63" drivers, 180 psi boiler pressure, 20x26" cylinders, engine weight of 144,500 lb, tractive effort of 25,257 lb. Since this data base will not accept dates before 1900, it has been arbitrarily listed as 1/1/1900 although the correct date for the photo is 2/9/1895. The photo is from the Ray F. Higgins collection

SLSF 4-4-0 #94 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco)
Title:  SLSF 4-4-0 #94 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco)
Description:  Cooke Locomotive & Machine Works built this 4-4-0 as Kansas City Osceola & Southern Railway 10 and named "John J. Blair" in 1894 and was one of the smallest 8-wheelers ever built for American railroads. It was in the Frisco designated class 44 and had 60" drivers and developed only 155 psi boiler pressure. Even so, it was "dismissed from services" in 1934 after 41 years. This may be another handmade photo copied from an original print.

ATSF 4-4-0 #95 - Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Title:  ATSF 4-4-0 #95 - Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Description:  Before merging into the Alco family, the Manchester Locomoitve Works built this 1897 4-4-0 American-type steam locomotive for the ATSF. A mainline passenger engine at first, the type later moved into local service. #95 was the last Eight-wheeler to be retired by the Santa Fe when it was withdrawn in 1940. Specs - class E2Q, 69" drivers, modest 150 psi boiler pressure, 18x24" cylinders, petite engine weight of 98,550 lb, modest tractive effort of 14,369 lb. Wesley Krambeck photo

CV 4-4-0 #106 - Central Vermont
Title:  CV 4-4-0 #106 - Central Vermont
Description:  Although strangely tilted, this original photo corrected from the heavily sepia color shows an Schenectady (before the ALCO consolidation) 4-4-0 American type steam locomotive, Central Vermont #106, built in July of 1892. Thanks to the research effort of Chuck Zeiler, there is a more complete story to this loco. Originally the loco was built as Adirondack & St Lawrence #101. It became Central Vermont #129 later in 1892 but was renumbered #106 in 1900 as it appears in this photo. The loco was given a new boiler in 1921 and reclassified as B-3a. The loco was finally scrapped in May of 1941. Specs - serial #3878, 78" drivers, 160 psi boiler pressure, 18.5x24" cylinders, engine weight of 103,300 lb. Thanks, Chuck, for the help! A note on the back states "Train 2 - CV 106, motor trailer coach & baggage #153, baggage & mail #152." This loco has the unusual distinction of being the last CV 4-4-0 to be scrapped having lasted 11 years longer than any other CV 4-4-0. It met the scrapper's torch in May of 1941 after nearly 49 years of service. No location or photographer was listed for the photo.

Description:  Quite a sight to see two steam engines in a head-on collision. Involved were Chicago Great Western 2-6-0 #140 and Chicago Great Western 4-4-0 #37.

CGW #140 specs - Cooke, 11/1888, nee-Chicago, St Paul & Kansas City, Specs - serial #2147, class D2, 55" drivers, 145 psi boiler pressure, 18x24" cylinders, engine weight of 102,000, tractive effort of 17,425 lb. CGW #47 specs - CGW shops, 1904, Specs - class 33, 63" drivers, 160 psi boiler pressure, 17x24" cylinders, engine weight of 100,500 lb, modest tractive effort of 14,973 lb No photographer was listed for the photo.

Title:  SLSF 4-4-0 #183 - St Louis-San Francisco
Description:  Here is one hard working 4-4-0 that lasted 60 years in service.

CNW 4-4-0 #203 - Chicago & North Western
Title:  CNW 4-4-0 #203 - Chicago & North Western
Description:  Although an F3A would wear the same #203 later, the first to do so was this 1899 Schenectady built American type locomotive. An example of the B class locomotives that served the CNW in the early years, this loco had spindly looking 75" drivers but could develop a respectable 190 psi boiler pressure for its 19.5"x26" cylinders. The engine weight was a delicate 137,000 lb and it could generate a modest tractive effort of 21,289 lb, enough to handle the lighter, smaller trains of its day. Simple, unobstructed style - must have been much easier to work on than the later models built 40 years later! It is shown parked at the CNW shops in Chicago. The date is approximate.

BAR 4-4-0 #206 - Bangor & Aroostook RR
Title:  BAR 4-4-0 #206 - Bangor & Aroostook RR
Description:  Here is an excellent example of a Manchester Locomotive Works built in November, 1893 with the original number 16. This was a BAR class H-2 with tall 69" drivers.

The locomotive was rebuilt by the BAR shops in 1920 and it worked unitl being sold in 1940. The date is approximate and location is listed as Derby (formerly Milo Junction). C.E. Fisher gets the photo credit.

Description:  This Alco-Rhode Island 4-4-0 steam locomotive built in 6/18/1903 as SLSF #223 looks like it has reached the storage/scrap line in its life. The serial number 27823 and build date of 6/18/1903 were written on the back of the photo. As yet, I can't confirm or revoke them as being accurate. Does anyone know either?
