YV 2-6-0 #25 - Yosemite Valley Rwy
Title:  YV 2-6-0 #25 - Yosemite Valley Rwy
Description:  From the looks of it and the date of the photo, this 1922 Baldwin built Mogul might be meeting the scrapper's torch soon. Delivered along with sister locomotive 29 in 1922, #25 & 29 were the only class 29 Moguls that Yosemite Valley Rwy ever owned. After 20 years with the YVRR, both 25 and sister locomotive #29 were leased to the Southern Pacific during World War II. After the war and the YVRR's abandonment, 25 was scrapped but 29 was sold to a railroad in Northern Mexico. Specifics - Specifics - 57" drivers, 190 psi boiler pressure, 19x28" cylinders, engine weight of 140,760 lb, tractive effort of 28,639 lb. Unknown photographer

YV 4-4-0 #23 - Yosemite Valley Railroad
Title:  YV 4-4-0 #23 - Yosemite Valley Railroad
Description:  Built by Alco-Rogers in 1907, this loco and its sister #22, were seen as the "modern" power for transporting visitors into Yosemite National Park. It's serial number was 44389, and had 63" drivers, created 165 psi boiler pressure for its 18"x26" cylinders and produced 18,753 lbs tractive effort, enough to pull the short trains into the park. No photographer listed.

YV 4-4-0 #22 - Yosemite Valley RR
Title:  YV 4-4-0 #22 - Yosemite Valley RR
Description:  Alco, 1907, one of a pair built by Alco Specs - serial #43167, class 22, 63" drivers, modest 165 psi boiler pressure, 18x26" cylinders, modest engine weight of 110,000 lb, very modest tractive effort of 18,753 lb. The little loco was scrapped in 1948. No date, location or photographer was listed for the photo. Although the correct reporting mark is YVRR, that current belongs to Yadkin Valley so I have listed it both as YVRR and just YV.
