| Built by the Rock Island shops in 1890, this cute 8 wheeler was a B-16 class locomotive with 68" drivers. It could develop a modest 160 psi boiler pressure for its 18"x24" cylinders. The engine weight was 107,300 lb and it could apply a modest tractive effort of 15,552 lbs but enough to move traffic at the turn of the century. Note the crew member standing by the front coupling - must be setting it for the next linkup . . . or cleaning dead cows from the "cow catcher"! Month and day in 1933 is approximate - unknown photographer. |
