PRR 4-8-2 #6929
Description:
Here is the Baldwin example of the 4-8-2 "Mountain" type locomotive. Similar to its Lima built sister, this 1925 M1 class loco also had 72" drivers, could generate 250 psi boiler pressure for it 27 x 30 cylinders and could apply a tractive effort of 64,550 lbs. One significant difference is it tipped the scales a little heavier - 385,000 pounds. No photographer listed - definitely a reprint from a negative. The date is approximate

CB&Q Class B-1-A 7008
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad class B-1-A 7008 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on an unknown day in July 1925, photo by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. The CB&Q had 21 Mountain-type (4-8-2) locomotives on its roster, the first seven were built by Lima Locomotive Works in 1922. As-delivered, the Limas lacked feedwater heaters (later equipped with Worthington heaters), the trailing truck was a Rushton-type, and the tenders rode on four-wheel pedestal design trucks. The Baldwins were 1800 pounds heavier (possibly due to being built with Worthington feedwater heaters), the trailing trucks were Delta-B types, and the tenders rode on six-wheel Commonwealth trucks. Locomotive 7011 was the only Q 4-8-2 equipped with an Elesco feedwater system. Later, some of the class B-1a were equipped with roller bearings, box-pok wheel centers on the main drivers, and three B-1a's were converted to burn oil.

Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-8-2 Class B-1-A 7008 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on an unknown day in July 1925, photo by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. In 1922 the CB&Q ordered eight Mountain-type locomotives (#'s 7000-7007) from Lima Locomotive Works for passenger service. Pleased with the locomotives, The Q went to its favorite builder, Baldwin, for 13 more of similar design in 1925, numbers 7008-7020. The Baldwin-built locomotives were 1800 pounds heavier but developed the same tractive force (52,750 pounds). The Lima-built locomotives were designed to burn lignite fuel, seven of the Baldwin-built were designed for lignite, and six were designed for bituminous coal. Number 7008 was built in July 1925 (c/n 58482) and was retired in July 1953.
