MILW 2-8-2 #596 - Milwaukee Road |
| Description: |
Having just been declared retired in the month of April in 1954, this 2-8-2 Mikado type steam locomotive still looks like would like to keep working. Built by Baldwin in January of 1921 as MILW #8296, it was later renumbered in June of 1938 to MILW 596. After nearly 33 years of service, the loco was moved from the active to the scrap side of the roster in April of 1954. Sad moment in a proud service record. .Specs - 63" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 26x30" cylinders, engine wt of 287,600 lb, tractive effort of 54,723 lb. No photographer was listed for the photo. |

Milwaukee Road in Kansas City |
| Description: |
CMStP&P L-2 class Mikado 8255 sits by the road's Coburg roundhouse in 1936 in this shot by Charles Winters. The L-2 was a freight standard for the Milwaukee Road; the road acquiring 380 from Alco, Baldwin and its own shops from 1912 through 1923. 8255 came out of Baldwin in 1920 and would later be renumbered as 555. The L-2 class was the largest Milwaukee steam power on their KC line for years; as of 1944 they were rated for 3250 tons eastbound to the first crew change point, at Laredo and only 2250 westbound. |
