BO 0-6-6-0 #2400 - Baltimore & Ohio
Description:
Baltimore & Ohio 0-6-6-0 #2400 is an historic locomotive for many reasons starting with it being the first Mallet built in the US. Nicknamed "Old Maude" after a comic-strip mule, it was built to be a pusher loco for long strings of coal cars up steep grades on the B&O system. As a promotional item for the B&O, it went on display at the 1904 St Louis World's Fair. Alco-Schenectady built this unique loco in May of 1904 as B&O 0-6-6-0 #2400 (serial #27478, class O) in May of 1904 jointly designed by the B&O's James E Muhlfield and Alco's Carl J. Mellin. The success of this loco led to additional 30 revised 0-8-8-0 locos being built. In 1916, it was renumbered BO #7000. After its impact on railroading, it was still scrapped at Cumberland, MD in January of 1938. Specs - 56" drivers, impressive 235 psi boilter pressure, 20x32" high pressure cylinders, 32x32" low pressure cylinders, engine wt of 334,500 lb and tractive force of 71,500 lb. No photographer was listed for this historic photo from 1904.

Description:
A note on the back states "Frisco 221 - 4-4-0 at St L. yards, stored. Built by Alco-Rhode Island Wrks in 1903. This type hauled The Meteor in early years."

Alco-Rhode Island did build this 4-4-0 American type steam locomtoive in June of 1903 originally as St Louis, Memphis & South Eastern #221 (serial #27821). The StLM & SE merged into the St Louis-San Francisco in 1905 although the loco kept the same number. It lasted on the SLSF roster until being scrapped in September of 1934 at St Louis, MO after nearly 31 years of service. Specs - SLSF class 220, 69" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 19x26" cylinders, engine wt of 143,400 lb and modest tractive force of 23,100 lb. The photo is by rail fan P.A.

One online source states "Throughout their careers, the 1500s were well liked by engine crews, dispatchers, and the motive power department. They were a true general-purpose locomotive, as well suited for use in hotshot freight service, fast passenger service, or even on the local."

SLSF 4-6-0 #1406 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco)
Description:
Built by Burnham, Wms & Co (Baldwin predecessor) in December of 1907, SLSF was a member of the 1400 class. Since the loco numbers and work numbers were not assigned in order, the serial number is unknown for this loco. The 1400s were never converted to oil burning, although their boilers were superheated by the Frisco Shops in the 1920's. The class was "dismissed from service" between March 1950 and November 1951. No photographer was listed for the photo.

SLSF 4-8-2 #4400 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco)
Description:
The Frisco West Springfield Shops had a true skill in rebuilding older 2-10-2's into 4-8-2's like this one, SLSF 4-8-2 #4400 (serial #48023, class 4400). The loco was put to work hauling both passenger and freight. Not sure when the loco was retired but it would have been in the 1950's like the rest of the rebuilt 4-8-2's as the diesels began taking over the Frisco duties. Specs - oil burner, 70" drivers, 210 psi boiler pressure, 29x32" cylinders, engine wt of 449,760 lb and tractive force of 68,626 lb. No photographer was listed for the photo which is now in my rr collection.
