MILW 2-6-6-2 #9306 - Milwaukee Road
Description:
Nice example of a 1929 Milwaukee Shops workmanship. This loco was rebuilt by them from a 1910 Alco-Schenectady class N-1 #9524. Specs - N3-s class, 57" drviers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 21.5x30" cylinders, engine weight of 390,300 lb, impressive tractive effort of 82,718 lb. The entire class was enumbered in 1938 to the 50-66 range. Jim Scribbins (in Drury, 1993) notes that these engines had the highest tractive effort of any Milwaukee Road (by then the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, & Pacific) class. Note the unusual "cobra hood" in front like the B&M locos had. No photographer, locaiton or date listed for this photo.

MILW 4-4-2 #3010 - Chicago, Milwaukee, St Paul & Pacific
Description:
Here is another example of a 4-4-2 Atlantic wheel arrangement built by the Burnham, Wms & Co (Baldwin predecessor) for the Milwaukee Road. Originally numbered #410, it was renumbered several times with #3010 being done in November os 1912. Original Specs - 78" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 13x26" high pressure cylinders, 22x26" low pressure cylinders, engine weight of 140,700 lb, tractive effort of 14,198 lb. Later, this loco was simplified when given 19x26" cylinders. No date, location or photographer was given for this photo so date is an approximation. Does anyone recognize the background building? It's angle and shape might fix the location.

Still in its original sepia color is the photograph of the 1931 Baldwin built 4-6-4 Hudson, MILW 6414, as it passes through Chicago trackage.

MILW 4-4-2 #21 - Milwaukee Road
Description:
Good example of a Burnham, Wms & Co (Baldwin predecessor) 4-4-2 Atlantic type steam locomotive. Built in August of 1897, it was originally MILW #840, but the loco was renumbered several times - MILW 402 in 1899, MILW 902 in 1901, MILW 3002 in 1912 and finally MILW 21 in 1938. The loco served the Milwaukee Road long and well until being scrapped in May of 1940, about the time this photo was taken. This may very well be one of the very last photos before the scrapper's torch dismantled it. Original specs - serial #15462, class A1, 78" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, Vauclain compoumd with 22x26" & 13x26" cylinders, engine weight of 140,700 lb, modest tractive effort of 14,196 lb.

MILW 4-6-2 #171 - Milwaukee Road
Description:
Long before an SD40 unit wore the number, this 1910 Alco-Brooks Pacific did. Originally it was #6121 but was superheated by the Milwaukee shops in 1920 and renumbered in 1938. Specifics - F3 class, 79" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 23x28" cylinders, engine weight of 247,300 lb, tractive effort of 31,874 lb. No date, location or photographer was given so an approximate date was used. Although not totally sure, it appears that this may be the Milwaukee Road yard in Milwaukee. Can anyone identify it for sure?

MILW 4-6-4 #103 - Milwaukee Road
Description:
1930's stylish, sleek and fast. Delivered to the Milwaukee Road in August of 1938, this was the epitome of 1930's streamlining and speed. Tthe"streamlined "Hudson" (called "Baltic" by Milwaukee) F7s are major contenders for the fastest steam locomotives ever built, as they ran at over 100 miles per hour (160 km/h) daily in the Hiawatha service. The loco was eventually retired in June of 1951. Specs - class F-7, streamlined, 84" drivers, impressive 300 psi boiler pressure, 25.5x30" cylinders, engine weight of 415,000 lb, tractive effort of 50,294 lb. No photographer listed and the date is approximate.

MILW 4-4-2 #27 - Milwaukee Road

Long before an SD40 wore the MILW #27, this Burnham, Wms & Co built 4-4-2 Atlantic type steam locomotive had the honor of this number. Originally built in November of 1899 as MILW #411, the loco was renumbered and rebuilt several times - MILW 912 in 1901, MILW 3011 in 1912 and finally MILW 27 in 1938. Original specs - serial #17224, class A1, 78" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, Vauclain compoumd with 22x26" & 13x26" cylinders, engine weight of 140,700 lb, modest tractive effort of 14,196 lb. The loco was finally scrapped in June of 1947. Unknown photographer

MILW 4-4-2 #28 - Milwaukee Road
Description:
Originally built by Burnham, Wms & Co in August of 1903 as MILW 4-4-2 #941, it was renumbered to MILW 3013 in 1912 and finally MILW 28 in 1938.

The loco was finally retired in May of 1940. Stripped of its bell, light and tender, this may be one of the very last photos ever taken of the loco by an unknown photographer. MILW #21 sits behind it and is awaiting the scrapper's torch too.

MILW 4-8-4 #202 - Milwaukee Road
Description:
Beautiful original photo by P.F. Johnson of the beefy 4-8-4 Northern style locomotive #202 built by Baldwin in October of 1937. These class S-2s operated mostly as freight haulers from Bensenville (West Milwaukee) to Council Bluffs, Iowa or St. Paul, Minn. Occasionally they'd hook up to the westbound Olympian if it trailed more than twelve cars. This loco lasted until being scrapped in December of 1954 after only 17 years of service. The diesel erra pushed it out. Specs - S-2 class, 74" drivers, impressive 285 psi boiler pressure, 26x32" cylinders, thermic syphon, engine wt 490,450 lb, tractive effort of 70,816 lb. P. F.

MILW 4-4-2 #2 - Chicago, Milwaukee, St Paul & Pacific
Description:
Proud face that made the 4-4-2 wheel arrangement famous. According to one online source - Among the last 4-4-2s to be built, the engine had high drivers and a brightly colored, air-smoothed casing. Although seemingly lightweight, the four oil-fired engines developed over 3,000 cylinder horsepower and kept a 6 1/4 hour schedule over the 408-mile run between Chicago and Minneapolis with 9 cars. Alfred Bruce gives further details about the design: "The Hiawatha engines had their main rods connected to the front axle and were remarkably stable riding." He adds that this quartet were among the first to press a conventionally staybolted boiler to 300 psi. He also notes that the streamlining fairing proved very effective in protecting the crew and the train from wandering livestock. One of the four, traveling at 100 mph, hit a cow and sent it "sailing out over the telephone wires along one side of the right of way." All of the cow's bones were broken, he observes, but the hide was intact. Gene Connelly photo

MILW 4-4-2 #2 - Chicago, Milwaukee, St Paul & Pacific
Description:
Beautiful example of an early streamlined steam locomotive but now near its end. Alfred Bruce (The Steam Locomotive in America, 1952, 292-293) describes the performance of this Alco product as: "Their ample boiler capacity, 19 x 28 cylinders, 84" drivers, and 300 psi made them about the highest-speed steam locomotive engines ever constructed. During the time-schedule stabilizing runs, the hand of the speed indicator was often reported against the pin at 128 miles per hour. Exactly what maximum speed was reached is not known - but it was plenty!" For comparison, 128 mph is two miles per hour faster than the 126 mph the LNER's Mallard achieved in 1937 for the highest officially recognized speed posted by a steam locomotive. Chas. K.
