QUOTE: Originally posted by trainjunky29 I am quite possibly the greatest locomotive failure in the history of railroading. I even beat out the Union Pacifics in my category. I was stored for 25 years before scrapping.

QUOTE: Originally posted by andrechapelon QUOTE: Originally posted by AggroJones Well Chapoleon, you're up again! OK. I was built as a 3 cylinder locomotive by ALCO in 1925 and was converted to a 2 cylinder locomotive in 1942. Only 1 of me was ever built. What am I? Andre

A similar rebuild was Illinois Central 4-6-4 No 1 but it was rebuilt in 1937 from a 2-8-4 Edward Thomson's rebuild of a Gresley K3 2-6-0 into a K5 actually qualifies too!

However, the engine in question probably showed up at St. Louis Union Station next to a Wabash loco. Andre
