QUOTE: Originally posted by AggroJones CN and CP aren't far enough from us for me to concider them "foreign". They're just like northern roads to me. There are only 2 units in this class, and both are built from boilers of another sucessful wheel arrangement. These were passenger locomotives. Road, Class, wheel arrangment
QUOTE: Originally posted by AggroJones Chapelon--the road in question had even more Northerns than The Rock. QUOTE: Originally posted by andrechapelon Here's one for you. There were 23 of us built. We used the boilers from locomotives of a different wheel arrangement. We were also the heaviest of our type ever built. What were we (road name, wheel arrangement and loco number series).

Yet another 3 cylinder Alco of 1925, these five units were a rare application of three cylinders and this wheel arrangement for passenger service. Built for an Eastern road, by 1931 they had already been converted to two cylinder operation. Peter Delaware, Lackawanna and Western 4-8-2 #'s 1450-1454. Andre
