CRIP 2-8-2 #2309 - Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Title:  CRIP 2-8-2 #2309 - Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Description:  This USRA "Mikado light" 2-8-2 was built by Alco-Schenectady in October of 1918 originally as Texas & Pacific #550 (serial #59598). In 1919, the United States Railroad Administration re-allocated TP #550 and 9 other sister TP Mikados to the Rock Island who renumbered them #2309-2319. This was done to help with the Rock Island power shortage during WW I. The loco lasted until retirement in 1948 and eventually sold for scrap in December of 1948. Original specs - 63" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 26x30" cylinders, engine wt of 290,000 lb and tractive force of 54,500 lb. No date was given for this photo so an approximate one was used.This is an R. H. Carlson photo.

MILW 32 No Date No Location
Title:  MILW 32 No Date No Location
Description:  Data from "Baldwin 4-4-2 for the Idaho & Washington Northern" Railway and Locomotive Engineering, Vol 23, No 2 (February 1910), pp. 52-53. Baldwin Locomotive Works number was 33778 built in September 1909. When the Milwaukee took over the I&WN in 1916, they placed this locomotive in its own A-2/3s (Class A-4s/B-4s) class. In the 1930s, the 3135 was later considerably modified with a Schmidt superheater. At some point, the Milwaukee decided to remove the Baldwin smokebox superheater that had accompanied the locomotive when it was delivered to the Idaho & Washington Northern as number 31 in 1909. At the same time the shops mounted a new boiler, they also rolled in taller drivers. The result was a considerably heavier, but more powerful Atlantic that remained in service as a single-engine class until 1951.
