This big boy is also the in the worst physical condition of them all. I saw her firebox and it was rusted all the way through.Also shes missing alot of her cab parts that includes:2 stoker valves, bell and bell cord, whistle cord,speedometer and a whole lot more. so yes she is in good static condtion but in the worst physical condition

A friend loaned me their copy of "American Locomotives 1900-1950", by Edwin P. Alexander. It offers info such as: length over couplers: 132' 10" speeds to 80mph, continuous 70mph operation. 6000 drawbar hp at 45mph The Research and Mechanical Standards Department of the Union Pacific developed the design. Total weight (loco & tender I think): 1,208,750 lbs!
