GN 4-8-2 #2513 - Great Northern
Title:  GN 4-8-2 #2513 - Great Northern
Description:  Beautiful example of the 1923 Baldwin built "Mountain" type steam locomotive. According to several sources, the Class P-2 "Mountains" did an excellent job in passenger service. They were eventually replaced by the S-2 Northerns in Empire Builder service. The P-2 class locomotives were then used in freight service and were retired in 1955. These were successful passenger-haulers and were considered by many to have the best-looking Great Northern engine class. Specs - class P-2, oil burner, 73" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 29x28" cylinders, engine weight of 357,000 lb, tractive effort of 54,838 lb. Date is approximate. Robert Graham photo

GN 4-8-2 #2513 - Great Northern
Title:  GN 4-8-2 #2513 - Great Northern
Description:  Massive and fast are the two words to describe Great Northern 4-8-2 #2513. Built by Baldwin in September of 1923, it filled the need for a fast power source for the Great Northern's St Paul to Seattle leg of the Oriental Limited passenger service. After nearly 35 years of dedicated service, the locomoitve retired in April of 1958 and presumedly scrapped. Specs - class P-2, 73" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 29x28" cylinders, engine weight of 271,600 lb and tractive effort of 54,840 lb. Unfortunately, no date, location or photographer was listed for this photo so approximate date and location was assigned.
