LN 4-8-2 #400 - Louisville & Nashville |
| Description: |
Definitely a sad sight with this Baldwin 4-8-2 Light Mountain steam locomotive sitting in the scrap line waiting for the torch. Built in December of 1925, the massive and powerful loco was put to work hauling passengers. Barred by bridge loading limits from operating further south, the 4-8-2s later added Louisville-East St Louis trains and even freights. They saw out steam on the L & N, retiring in the mid-1950s. Specs - serial #58877, class L-1, 69" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 27x30" cylinders, engine weight of 333,100 lb, tractive effort of 53,883 lb. Max Miller photo |

LN 4-8-2 #412 - Louisville & Nashville RR |
| Description: |
This resplendent Mountain-type locomotive was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1926. Classified by L&N as an L-1 class, it had 69" drivers and could generate 200 psi for its 27"x30" cylinders. The engine weight was 333,100 lb and it could produce a tractive effort of 53,883 lb. After serving nearly 30 years, the loco was retired in the mid-1950's. No photographer was listed for this beautiful photo and the day in July of 1935 is approximate. |

LN 4-8-2 #483 - Louisville & Nashville |
| Description: |
Interesting photo with the tender wearing the new number $483 while the headlight still has the original #421. Built by Baldwin in October of 1930, the renumbering took place in 1953. The date was given as 6/9/1950 which might be incorrect or the renumbering took place in 1950 or it wore both numbers. Specs - serial #61552, class L-1, 69" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 27x30" cylinders, engine weight of 337,730 lb, tractive effort of 53,883 lb.The loco was scrapped sometime in the 1950's as the L&N dieselized.
