CRIP 4-8-4 #5040 - Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Description:

The loco lasted in service until being retired and sold for scrap in August of 1952. Specs - 69" drivers, impressive 250 psi boiler pressure, 26x32" cylinders, engine weight of 434,000 lb and tractive effort of 66,620 lb. No photographer was listed for the photo.
