AltonFan I used to work for Rail Bearing Service in North Little Rock. We reconditioned roller bearings. The vast majority of them being Timken. We were bought by and bacame a subsidiary of Timken. I have hanging on my wall a nice framed group of 4 pics of the Four Aces. One of the pics includes the loco specs. I have never heard about the damage part, but I knew it tested on the NP. I will include some of the specs for those who are interested. Builder ALCO, Road Number 1111, Cylinders 27", Driving Wheels 73" Weight (in working order) Engine 417,500 lbs, Tender 294,000 lbs, Maximum Tractive Power Engine 59,900 to 63,700 lbs depending on boiler pressure of 235 to 250 lbs, Booster 12,000 to 12,800 lbs, Of course there are more stats but these are the more interesting ones. Later northerns had better tractive power, hopefully some of you can give stats on the 844 or the 819 or some of the other current northerns still running. I don't have time right now to check on this. Thanks everyone. Stay safe and don't forget to Look, Listen, and Live. Remember our service men and women.
