Another steam loco for those who appreciate Classic Trains (and by the looks of the numbers for this thread - MANY do, but just don't "speak"!!!)

Another poster from you - another steamer from me! And so goes life over here on the lonely thread - lonely ONLY in the sense that we've attracted quite an impressive numbner of "hits," but hardly any "hitters" . . . their loss, huh Question [?] Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

G-day Tom!!

Well, I thought I would come around and join in with the fun. Here are a couple of pics.

These are a couple of pics I took of a Iron ore train. This on the last operating dock here in Duluth. The SD38s bring the train down the 2.2% hill on to the dock. Then the locos run around the train and couple into the end of the train and push it on to the dock. It is really neat watching them climb the hill with an empty train. What a roar.Yeah!! [yeah]

Happy railroadingLaugh [(-D]

Good afternoon:

Western Maryland had two groups of 2-8-8-2s (all blt by Lima)

Lars provided a nice shot of WM 924, part of the second group.

The second group of 2-8-8-2s carried #s 916-925, they were blt. 1917-1918.  924 was blt. in 1918 and was the third-to-the-last of the series to go to the scrapper (February, 1951).

WM also had a group of 0-6-6-0s (951-959) blt. by Baldwin, 1909-1911.  They were scrapped from 1944 to 1951.

The most famous articulateds on the roster were the Class M2 4-6-6-4s, Baldwin 1940-1941.  They were all retired by 1953 and scrapped soon after.

Anyway, thought it was a nice pick

Work safe

Hocked it for cold cash, left town on the Wabash.

WAB 2802 was part of a group of 4-8-2s (2800-2824), blt. by Baldwin in 1930.  27x32" cylinders, 70" drivers, 69,400 lbs. tractive force.  Engine weighed 406,400 lbs. and steam pressure was 245.
