<p>[quote user="Dr D"]</p> <p>It's hard to believe that THREE of these unique THREE CYLINDER locomotives survive today considering how uncommon they were, and all three represent big locomotive power.</p> <p>Dr. D</p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p> </p> <p>There is one more survivor of the 3 cylinder type, the Alton and Southern #12 in St. Louis. This is an 0-8-0 that was built in 1926 and retired 1948.</p> <p>That make FOUR(!) surviving three cylinders!</p> <p>I think that this locomotive is one of the most overlooked in the US, next to the SP 4460, and others that remian unnamed beause I have overlooked them! (Ironically enough)</p>
