SLSF 4-8-2 #1505 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco)
Description:
Beautiful, solid and powerful was this Baldwin 4-8-2 Mountain type steam locomotive built as SLSF #1505 in March of 1923 ( serial #56269, class T-54). The T-54s were found to be well liked by engine crews, dispatchers, and the motive power department. As they were true general-purpose locomotives, they were well suited for use in hotshot freight service, fast passenger service, or even local runs . No location, date or photographer was listed for the photo.
