Title:
GN 4-8-2 #2524 - Great Northern
Description:
Beautiful example of the 1923 Baldwin built "Mountain" type steam locomotive. According to several sources, the Class P-2 "Mountains" did an excellent job in passenger service. They were eventually replaced by the S-2 Northerns in Empire Builder service. The P-2 class locomotives were then used in freight service and were retired in 1955. These were successful passenger-haulers and were considered by many to have the best-looking Great Northern engine class. Specs - class P-2, oil burner, 73" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 29x28" cylinders, engine weight of 357,000 lb, tractive effort of 54,838 lb. Date is approximate. Robert Graham photo
