RARE - GTW 0-8-2 #3522 - Grand Trunk Western |
| Description: |
This is actually a rare 0-8-2 loco but listed in RRPA as a 2-8-2 since there was no choice for this unusual wheel configuration. History - Built by the GTW shops, 1936-37, conversion of 2-8-2 class S-1-h to 0-8-2 by removing the pilot truck. This places more weight on the drivers making them more suitable for yard work.
