GN 2-8-2 #3121 - Great Northern |
| Description: |
Beautiful example of a 1918 Baldwin built 2-8-2 Mikado, GN 3121. The loco served the Great Northern until it was sold to the SP&S in 1943 and renumbered SP&S #509. The loco barely served 2 years when it was scrapped in 1945. No date was given for the photo so an approximate one was used. Robert Graham photo |

Here's another fine example of the artistry of the Great Northern Shops who starting in 1925 took older L-6 class 2-6-6-2 locos and rebuilt them into powerful 2-8-2 Mikados like this GN #3358.

GN 2-8-2 #3368 - Great Northern |
| Description: |
The Great Northern was a frugal railroad who had their shops re-use and rebuild older models of locos into newer efficient designs like this 2-8-2 Mikado from an older L-6 class 2-6-6-2 loco. Starting in 1925, the older articulateds were transformed into powerful and efficient 2-8-2 Mikados. Specs - class O-6, 56" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 28x32" cylinders, engine weight of 320,100 lb, tractive effort of 76,160 lb. No date was given for the photo so an approximate one was used.

GN 2-8-2 #3390 - Great Northern |
| Description: |
This is another example of the ingenuity of the Great Northern Shops who could take an older, slow moving, odd 2-6-8-0 articulated loco and rebuild it into a powerful and fast 2-8-2 Mikado like this GN #3390. Starting in 1926-28, the Shops converted the M-2 class of 2-6-8-0's into the O-7 class but then rebuilt and redesigned them in 1944-46 again into even more powerful O-8 class of Mikados. Specs - class O-7, 69" drivers, 210 psi boiler pressure, 31x32" cylinders, engine weight of 348,000 lb, impressive tractive effort of 79,554 lb. The loco was retired and scrapped sometime between March and May of 1958. No date was given for the photo so an approximate one was used. No photographer was listed for the photo although it may have been Robert Graham. |
