Baldwin built 42 Mikados during 1909-10 for the Virginian creating their class MB. They had 56" drivers, developed a boiler pressure of 190 psi for their 22"x28" cylinders. Engine weight was 269,000 lb and this Mikado could apply a tractive effort of 53,157 lb. EW King, Jr., writing in Drury (1993) says, "...they literally did everything on the Virginian: switching, pusher duty, coal drags, work trains, fast freights, mixed runs, and passenger trains.".
