DSL 2-8-2 #406 - Denver & Salt Lake |
| Description: |
Built by Lima in 1915, it was originally intended for the D&SL for the Rollins Pass route. Unfortunately, they had problems negotiating the curving alignment and slipped because of their power, according to Drury (1993). Still they ran until the late 1940s and even received Coffin feedwater heaters (cobra hooded). The loco was scrapped in April of 1952. Specs - serial #5706, class K-63, 55" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 26x30" cylinders, engine weight of 295,000 lb, tractive effort of 62,684 lb. Sold and renumbered DRGW #1226 later in 1947. No photographer was listed for the photo. |
