WLE 2-8-4 #6404 - Wheeling & Lake Erie |
| Description: |
Beautiful 1937 Alco built 2-8-4 Berkshire (bldr #66832) doing a job it was built to do - a coal drag. The loco was absorbed into the Nickel Plate and renumbered as NKP 6404 in 1949. Three years later it was renumbered again as #804. Eventually it was scrapped between 1961-63. According to www.steamlocomotive.com "These represented Superpower design at its peak - big boilers and grates, long-stroke cylinders, lots of superheat, and relatively tall drivers to deliver the freight at speeds only dreamt of 25 years earlier." Specs - 69" drivers, impressive 245 psi boiler pressure, 25x34" cylinders, engine weight of 413,170 lb, tractive effort of 64,135 lb. Max Miller photo |
