MILW 2-8-2 #486 - Milwaukee Road |
| Description: |
Ignorant that it has been declared scrap, MILW 2-8-2 #486 still looks like it is ready to continue working. Unfrortunately, diesels have taken over the duites. This may have been the last photo ever taken of it before the scrapper's torch hit it. Baldwin, 9/1923, nee-CMStP 2-8-2 #8386 (serial #57175, L-sb class) > renumbered in August of 1938 to MILW 486. The loco served for 31 years before being scrapped in September of 1954. Specs - 63" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 26x30" cylinders, engine wt of 292,770 lb and tractive force of 54,723 lb. No photographer was listed for the photo which is now in my collection. |
