ATSF 2-10-4 #5012 = Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe |
| Description: |
Beautiful b&w photo of the powerful wheels on the ATSF 2-10-4 Texas type steam locomotive #5012. It has a look of an O. Winston Link style to it. The photo is probably one of the publicity shots taken by Baldwin after it rolled off the assembly line. This class of 2-10-4 steam locomotives were often described as the "superpower" ideal as mentioned in Baldwin's own in-house publications. Sadly, this loco lasted only 14 years in revenue service before being sold for scrap on 5/23/1959 to George T. Cook Company. Specs - serial #70818, class 5011, 74" drivers, impressive 310 oil burner, psi boiler pressure, 30x34" cylinders, engine weight of 536,000 lb, impressive tractive effort of 108,961 lb. |
