Title:  Illinois Central 4-8-2 #2553
Description:  This is another example of one of the IC Paducah Shops rebuilds from older IC 2-10-2 locos done between 1937-43. This 2500 class was based on the original Alco "Mountain" type locos built in 1923. They had 70" drivers and developed an impressive 240 psi boiler pressure. No location, date or photographer listed for this photo. Looks like it is sitting either in a storage line or scrap line.
