NW 4-6-2 #564 - Norfolk & Western |
| Description: |
Before a GP30 wore the number 564, this 1910 Alco-Richmond Pacific-type loco did. Specifics - E2 class, 70" drivers, 200 psi, 22.5x28" cylinders, engine weight of 247,000 lb, tractive effort of 34,425 lb. From Steamlocomotive.com "EW King, Jr., in Drury (1993), notes that the E2s were the first to have Baker valve gear, which he adds became the standard valve motion on the Norfolk & Western. Also, the trailing truck used outside bearings for greater stability." No exact date or location was given for this photo. C.A. Brown photo |
