VGN EL3a #107
Description:
Built by Alco & Westinghouse starting in 1925, these single, double & triple EL-3a electric units were specially built to handle the major grades found on the Virginian Rwy. The unique two wheel linkage like a steam engine main drive makes it a transitional unit between steam and electric. Unique, powerful, and in a brutish, boxy way, beautiful. Photo by R. D. Patton.

CCA 2-8-2 #202 - Canton & Carthage RR
Description:
Although this site does not recognize this reporting mark, the CC&A was a logging railroad in Mississippi between 1927-59. This Alco-Schenectady built Mikado was delivered originally to the Natchez, Columbia & Mobile RR but this boomer loco didn't stay there. According to the accompanying information from photographer C.W. Whitbeck, it was sold to Pearl River Valley Lumber Co. circa 1933, then resold to the Denkmann Lumber Co. in September of 1938, then resold again to Louisiana Eastern as their #10 before finally reaching the Canton & Carthage RR. After bouncing around the various logging railroads, it was finally scrapped in October, 1962. Here is 1955, it was a sharp looking locomotive. C.W. Whitbeck photo

Officially retired in November of 1954, it was still seen here 6 months later sitting in the scrap line awaiting its turn with the scrapper's torch. No photographer was listed for the photo. Specs - L3 Class, 63" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 27x32" cylinders, engine weight of 320,000 lb, tractive effort of 62,949 lb.

MILW 2-8-2 #392 - Milwaukee Road
Description:
Sadly caught by an unknown photographer is the once proud Milwaukee Road 2-8-2 heavyweight Mikado #392 now sitting in the scrap line at the Bensenville Yard. It started out as CM&StP 2-8-2 # 8692 built by Alco-Schenectady in August of 1919. In 1938, it was renumbered MILW #392 as seen here. The loco was officially retired in November of 1954.

DRGW 2-8-2ng 473 & 486 Double Heading
Description:
Great narrow gauge action shot of Denver & Rio Grande Western 2-8-2 #473 & 486 double heading a string of mostly flatcars. DRGW #473 was built by Alco-Schenectady in September of 1923. The narrow gauge Mikado worked until being retired and eventually sold to the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge in March of 1961. DRGW #486 was built by Baldwin (serial #58587) in 1925 and lasted until retirement and dontaed to the Royal Gorge Park for display. Not over though, since it was traded to Durango & Silverton for #499 in 1999 and rebuilt. It ran for the first time on DSNG in August of 2000. No location or photographer was listed. Although the date stamp on the slide is April, 1974, it appears more like early 1950's photo.

DRGW 2-8-2ng 473 & 486 Double Heading
Description:
Not sure why these two double heading narrow gauge Denver & Rio Grande Western Mikados have stopped at this unknown location, but it appears the crew members will be discussing something. DRGW #473 was built by Alco-Schenectady in September of 1923 (serial #64984) while DRGW 486 was built by Baldwin in 1925 (serial # 58587). After retirement, both eventually ended up on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge RR although #486 had a layover as a display piece for awhile in the Royal Gorge Park. No exact date, location or photographer was given but it appears that it was taken in the early 1950's.
