ITC 2-8-2 #31 - Illinois Terminal Company
Title:  ITC 2-8-2 #31 - Illinois Terminal Company
Description:  This solid looking 2-8-2 Mikado steam loco was built by Baldwin in October of 1929. Here it appears to be loaded "to the hilt" with coal in anticipation of another assignment. ITC #31 was a welcome addition to the roster due to its speed and power. After only 22 years of service for the Illinois Termimal, it met the scrapper's torch in April of 1950. Specs - serial #60925, class 30, 56" drivers, 185 psi boiler pressure, 25x30" cylinders, engine weight of 262,000 lb, tractive effort of 53,608 lb. The loco was sold for scrap in April of 1950 when the ITC converted to diesel-electric motive power. Posting info - Good looking photo of the Baldwin 2-8-2 Mikado built in October of 1929 for the Illinois Terminal Co (Illinois Terminal System) as their #31. An unknown photographer caught it while it sat in the Alton, IL yard in 1935. Specs - serial #60925, class 30, 56" drivers, 185 psi boiler pressure, 25x30" cylinders, engine weight of 262,000 lb, tractive effort of 53,608 lb. The loco was sold for scrap in April of 1950 when the ITC converted to diesel-electric motive power. No photographer was listed for the photo.

The IC SD40-2's have tied onto their empty coal train on Reuter's Siding and will soon head back towards Woodriver. The IC units are on NS tracks and the empties are being returned from a power plant just off the lead in the old IT Federal Yard.
