IC 4-6-2 #2064 - Illinois Central         
Oviously stripped of its bell, light and number plate and sitting in the scrap line at the Proviso Yard, Illinois Central 4-6-2 Pacific #2064 originally was built by ALCo-Richmond as IC #1138 (serial #53220). It was renumbered to 1030 in June 1937, and rebuilt and renumbered to IC 2064 in November of 1942. The loco served until being sold for scrap in May of 1955. The photo dated 12/11/1955 still shows it sitting in the scrap line however. Rebuilt specs - 61"drivers, 215 psi boiler pressure, 25x26" cylinders, engine weight of 248,733 lb, tractive effort of 48,683 lb. No photographer listed.
