Illinois Central 4-8-2 #2503 |
| Description: |
This is an example of one of the IC Paducah Shops rebuilds from older IC 2-10-2 locos done between 1937-43. This 2500 class was based on the original Alco "Mountain" type locos built in 1923. They had 70" drivers and developed an impressive 240 psi boiler pressure. C. W. Burns captured this brute under the coaling tower at Markham, IL - reprint is from May, 1970. |

| Description: |
Beautiful example of the IC shops built 4-8-2 sometime bertween 1937-43. Offering a prodigious power output on 70" drivers, the Mountains gave good service in freight service of all kinds, according to John S. Ingles (in Drury, 1993), "...even coal trains moved faster behind 4-8-2s than they had behind 2-10-2s." Specs - class 2500, 70" drivers, impressive 240 psi boiler pressure, 30x30" cylinders, engine wt 409,500 lb, tractive effort of 78,866 lb. No date, location or photographer was listed for this negative so approximations were used. |
