NKP 2-8-2 #636 |
| Description: |
Beautiful photo of a 1923 Lima built Mikado with a full head of steam. Eventually scrapped on July 11, 1945. Actual date and location of the photo are unknown. An interesting sidenote came up from Marcus W (see comment below) about this loco derailing in Edwardsville, IL, on 2/21/1942. May have been repaired or just stored before being scrapped 3 years later. |

| Description: |
Here is an example of an Alco-Brooks built Mikado, Delievered in August of 1917, this was a sleek member of the H-5b class. The classic white walled rims of the Nickel Plate seen here are so characteristic and add some elegance to the loco. As with most, it was sold for scrap on 12/28/1955 to Luntz Iron & Steel Co.
