MILW 4-8-4 #260 - Milwaukee Road |
| Description: |
This massive 4-8-4 Northern type steam locomotive was built by Alco-Schenectady in July of 1944 (serial #71973, class S3). According to Steamlocomotive.com,"The last of the Milwaukee Road's Northerns, this design pieced together a Rock Island frame, a Delaware & Hudson boiler, and a Union Pacific tender. Like the 1940 batch from Baldwin, the boiler used circulators in place of thermic syphons and Elesco exhaust steam injectors instead of the usual feed water heater. Glischinski's account says of this batch "...an Alco ad touted them as 'the last word in 4-8-4 design.' They featured roller bearings, special compensating lateral driving-box devices, and precision firing equipment." After only 10 years of solid service, the loco was retired in December of 1954 and presumedly scrapped. No photographer was listed for the photo which is now part of my collection. |
