| Description: |
Built by Lima in November of 1929, this 4-6-4 Hudson type steam locomotive looked more massive that it actually weighed out as in realtiy.

Specs - serial #7401, class L-1b, 73" drivers, 215 psi boiler pressure, 25x26" cylinders, approximate engine weight of 316,500 lb, tractive effort of 42,681 lb.
