Iillinois Central Wood Sleeper, "Amboy"
Description:
This older photo appears to be a builders photo of the Illinois Central wooden, open platform sleeper car named "Amboy" after the IC depot and division headquarters in Amboy, Illinois. No date, location or photographer was given for the photo. From "The Century of Pullman Cars", the Amboy is listed as having been purchased by IC. I would guess that Pullman built it but it could be Wagner Car Company as it was listed having built a lounge/drawing room car. Does anyone know for sure?.

CEI 0-6-0 #3641 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Description:
Standing outside the roundhouse at an unidentified location are two Baldwin B-4 class 0-6-0 switchers built between 1906-10. CE&I #3641 was built in June of 1906 as C&EI #19 (serial #28489, class S-38) but was renumbered in 1911 to C&EI 3641. It was leased to the KCS from 10/8/1942-6/5/1943. The loco was scrapped in November of 1947 by the C&EI. Unfortunately the number on the 2nd loco is unreadable. The entire B-4 class was retired over the period between 1934-48. The date, location and photographer were not listed on this print.

IC 4-4-2 #1005 - Illinois Central
Description:
Long before an SD70 unit wore the numbers IC #1005, this Rogers Locomotive Works 4-4-2 steam locomotive had the honor of carrying the Illinois Central #1005. Built in 4/22/1903 (according to the Rogers data), the loco was rebuilt sometime in its life and continued to serve the Illinois Central for 36 years before being retired in November of 1939. Rebuilt specs - 79" drivers, 185 psi boiler pressure, 21x28" cylinders, engine weight of 210,000 lb and tractive force of 24,271 lb. No date, location or photographer was listed for the photo but it has to be before its retirement in November of 1939.

CRIP 0-6-0 #249 - Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Description:
Long before the U28B carried the number 249, this little 0-6-0 switcher held it. Couldn't find much information about it other than it had 52" drivers and generated 180 psi boiler pressure. Photo credit goes to Warren W. McCleary Jr - unknown location (possibly Rock Island shops) & date is approximate

CRIP 4-4-2 #1004 - Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Description:
It appears to be near the end of this little 4-4-2 Atlantic style locomotive built by Also-Brooks in February of 1901 (serial #3766). It sits in an unidentified storage line missing its faceplate number and bell - sure signs the scrapper's torch will be next. Specs - class A-24, 78.5" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 20.25x26" cylinders, engine weight of 162,000 lb, modest tractive effort of 23,089 lb. No date, location or photographer was listed for the photo but probably is around 1934 when the last of these locos were finally retired.

IC 0-4-0T #2518 - Illinois Central
Description:
Some controversy over the builder of this tank locomotive. Several list Alco and one has Baldwin as the builder but whichever, it is a cute little switcher! No location or photographer listed on this original photo. Thanks to Mr. Gerald (see comment below), this switcher was built by the IC shops in 1888 according to the IC steam records. Specifics - 140 PSI, Weight 72,000 lb; Tractive effort 15,075 lb, Cylinder 16x24, driver 48.5".

A Faked Meet of The Twin Cities Zephyrs
Description:
This is a publicity shot of a meet was made in the darkroom, i.e., it never happen as shown. The trains were built by EMC/Budd and delivered in Apri11935. The power cars were diesels and carried a model number AA and, at least initially, could not be disconnected from the train easily. The first A in the model number I assume stood for first series (the second series were Es) and the second A stood for A-unit as opposed to B-unit. Train 9901 became The Sam#Houston Zephyr and was destroyed by fire on 12/19/44. Train 9902 became The Ozark State Zephyr and retired 2/54 and scrapped 4/56. Exact date and location of the picture(s) is unknown but certainly soon after the trains were put into service in 1935 and was taken along the Mississippi River bluffs in Illinois (my guess) or Wisconsin.

Description:
Nice example of a Baldwin K-2 4-6-2 Pacific built in December of 1911 for the Chicago & Eastern Illinois RR. No location, date or photographer was listed for the photo. Since the tender is still wearing the large "C&EI", the photo was taken before 1941 when the rr switched to loco numbers on the tender.

Description:
According to www.steamlocomotive.com, this Consolidation loco has an interesting life. "In 1910, 10 wide-firebox Consolidations were logged in Alco's order book for the Buffalo & Susquehanna as their 169-178, the line went into receivership. The engines were redirected to several lines and #174 wound up on the C & IM. In 1938, it moved over to the Midland Terminal and was renumbered 61. 61 served the MT until the road was closed in 1949." The location appears to be Peoria, IL but nothing was written on the back confirming this. Francis Gschwind photo

IC 2-8-2 #1732 - Illinois Central

NKP 4-6-4 #173, Nickel Plate (New York, Chicago & St. Louis RR)
Description:
Doing what is was meant to do - pulling a string of passenger cars down the track- this 1927 Alco-Brooks Hudson looks great. Unfortunately, no date or location was listed for this photo but from the flat land it definitely looks like a Midwest farm area. She faired better than her sisters - she was sold to Louisiana Eastern on 3/31/61 thus surviving longer than most of the others. Only #170 donated to the National RR Museum in St Louis lasted longer.

CIM 4-4-0 #502 - Chicago & Illinois Midland
Description:
According to George Drury (1993), this 1927 Baldwin built American-type locomotive was one of the last three Americans built for any railroad in North America. The loco was finally scrapped in 1953 after pulling the Springfield to Peoria passenger trains for nearly 26 years. Note the interesting diagonal logo plate on the boiler face. No photographer, date or location was given so approximates were used.

CRIP 2-10-2 #3003 - Rock Island
Description:
Obviously this 1918 Alco-Brooks Santa Fe type 2-10-2 locomotive has reached the point of no return. According to SteamLocomotives.com "Even with 63" drivers, [they] had counterbalancing problems and were limited to 30 mph. Later refitting with disk drivers ameliorated the pounding." After nearly 28 years of service, the loco was retired and scrapped in March of 1941. Specifics - class N-83, 63" drivers, 215 psi boiler pressure, 3-x32" cylinders, engine weight of 385,400 lb, impressive tractive effort of 83,543 lbs., scrapped between 1939-52 No date, location or photographer listed for this photo.

Illinois Central 4-4-2 on the scrap line
Description:
Unfortunately, no number was visible on this stripped Illinois Central 4-4-2 Atlantic type steam locomotive as it spent its last days sitting in a scrap line somewhere in Illinois - possibly in the Cicero yard where many of these locos ended up. It's sad not to have a name on this "tombstone" photo. No date or location was given for th photo so an approximate date was used.. R.H Carlson photo

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.

TPW 2-8-2 #40 - Toledo, Peoria & Western
Description:
Here is an untouched photo of the TPW Mikado doing some switching with the crew member riding the front step. Built by Alco-Richmond in 1927, this H-6 class Mikado had smll 56" drivers but developed a respectable boiler pressure of 200 psi for its 22"x28" cylinders. With an engine weight of 223,000 lb, it was one of the lightest standard guage 2-8-2's in North America. The TPW dieselized in late 1940's so this unit was sold on January 27, 1950. P. H.

WAB 4-8-2 #2807
Description:
When compared to some of the earlier locomotives in this album built in 1890's and early 1900's, this massive 1930 Baldwin locomotive is powerful, sophisticated and the product of years of constant research and development. This Mountain-type locomotive boasted 70" drivers and a whopping 235 psi boiler pressure but came near the end of steam. It was retired sometime between 1953-55, barely working 25 years. No known survivors of this class are known. No known location or date for this photo made by Forrest Trittenbach.

Description:
Nice example of a Baldwin K-2 4-6-2 Pacific built in December of 1911 for the Chicago & Eastern Illinois RR. No location, date or photographer was listed for the photo. Since the tender is wearing the loco number, the photo was taken after 1941 when the rr switched to loco numbers on the tender.

Another view of the Baldwin K-2 4-6-2 Pacific #1009 built in December of 1911 for the Chicago & Eastern Illinlos. No location, date or photographer was listed for the photo but since the tender carries the loco number, it must have been taken after 1941 when the rr changed tender markings.
