Title:
IC 4-8-2 #2411 - Illinois Central
Description:
Nice photo from a direct scan of the original negative and it appears that it is newly delibered 4-8-2 Mountain type locomotive built by Alco-Schenectady in 1923. No date or location was given but with Mary Rae McPherson's help (see comment below), I now believe it was taken in Chicago, IL, possibly 27th Street. The date is possibly 1923 as it appears to be a newly delivered locomotive. Specs - class 2400, builder #64580, 73.5" drivers, impressive 225 psi boiler pressure, 24x28" cylinders, engine wt 362,500 lb, tractive effort of 57,120 lb. Unknown photographer.

IC 4-8-2 #2509 - Illinois Central
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.
