| Thanks to Chuck Zeiler, the history of this loco now can be filled in after my fruitless search. The loco was built by Burnham, Williams & Co (Baldwin predecessor) in September of 1900 as KCS #425, a Vauclain compound 2-8-0 with 15.5 and 26x30" cylinders. It was rebuilt in August of 1906 to a simple arrangement with 21x30" cylinders and renumbered KCS #465. It was again rebuilt again in Sept 19, 1917, this time into an 0-8-0 configuration with 22x30" cylinders and renumbered KCS #1010. The loco continued in service as an 0-8-0 yard switcher until retirement and scrapping in January 22, 1953 at Pittsburg, KS. No photographer listed. Location and date are approximations. |
