Fair quality photo of the rebuilt St Louis-San Francisco 4-6-4 Hudson #1062. Initially the loco started out as a 1917 Baldwin 4-6-2 Pacific but the SLSF West Springfield Shops undertook rebuilding the entire 1060 class into 4-6-4 Hudsons in 1937. Note the wide valence on the side - an inexpensive homage to streamlining. The loco was scrapped in January of 1952. Hudson specs - serial #45464, 74" drivers, 225 psi boiler pressure, 26x28" cylinders, engine weight of 360,960 lb, tractive effort of 48,919 lb. Unknown photographer |
