CEI 4-6-2 #1019 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois |
| Description: |
Nice example of the Lima K-3 4-6-2 Pacific built in January of 1923 for the Chicago & Eastern Illinois. Definitely has a different look than the K-1 & K-2 built by Baldwin and the K-2as built by Alco-Schenectady. No date, location or photographer was listed for the photo. Since the tender wears the loco number, it must have been taken after 1941 when the "C&EI" was replaced with numbers. |

| Description: |
Here is an action shot of the Lima K-3 class 4-6-2 Pacific built in 1923 heading up a passenger train in Chicago, IL. Note the engineer's watchful eye on the track ahead. No date was given but since the tender has the loco number on its side, it has to be after 1941 when the rr dropped the "C&EI" lettering in favor of loco numbers. No photographer was listed either. |

The contest was open to any pupil in any community along the railroad and included students from kindergarten to the final year of junior high school. to the locomotive a plate with the name of the boy or girl who suggested the name, as well as the name of his or her school. The contest elicited more than 10,000 names for the 20 engines." The name chosen for this loco was "Peter Cooper" The loco was scrapped in September of 1953.

| Description: |
This is one of the only 10 4-6-2 Pacifics built by Lima for the Boston & Maine. In addition, these last 10 Lima Pacifics were the last Pacifics that Lima would ever build.

All the rest of the Boston & Maine's large stable of 4-6-2 Pacifics were built by Alco, nearly all of those were Schenectady locos with the exception of the DLW Brooks built locos that were purchased in 1943. Specs - serial #7655, P-4 class, 80" drivers, impressive 260 psi boiler pressure, 23x28" cylinders.
