VGN 2-10-10-2 #800 - Virginian
Title:  VGN 2-10-10-2 #800 - Virginian
Description:  Very intriguing photo of the wrecked boiler of Virginian 2-10-10-2 #800 after an explosion in 1941. Built by Alco-Schenectady in 1918 as one of 10, this unit met with disaster. Strange that several sources list #800 as being scrapped in March of 1952. Can anyone explain the unusual gap before being scrapped? Was this unit rebuilt??? The photographer's signature on the back appears to be J.R. Rund (or Ruid).

CO 2-10-2 #2979 - Cheaspaeak & Ohio
Title:  CO 2-10-2 #2979 - Cheaspaeak & Ohio
Description:  The Pere Marquette Railway bought fifteen "Santa Fe" type locomotives from the American Locomotive Company in 1918. The locomotives were designated as Class SF and carried road numbers 1101 through 1113. They had 64" diameter drivers, 29" x 32" cylinders, a 210 psi boiler pressure and they exerted 77,059 pounds of tractive effort and each weighed 398,000 pounds. These 2-10-2s were conveyed to the C&O in 1947 and were renumbered with C&O numbers 2975 through 2989. At 324,000 pounds they were among the lightest and had a relatively small boiler and cylinder size. Also of note were the leading and trailing wheels, at 33" in diameter they were about 10 inches smaller most in use. C.W. Jernstrom photo

All of the Erie's 2-10-2s were renowned for their great power, whether as road engines or pushers." ERIE #3000 was a 1911 Baldwin product, the first of its N-1 class to be built. No date given for this action shot so an arbitrary one was used. Unknown photographer.
