Illinois Central 0-10-0 #3603  Contributor's Pick!       
This may have been an IC Paducah rebuilt 0-10-0 from an existing 2-10-2 built by Lima in either 1917 or 1923. The Paducah shops rebuilt many in that group when later businees conditions demanded more speed than they could get from the original 2-10-2. It is mislabelled since there was not a 0-10-0 choice for this loco. Photo credit goes to C. W. Burns and obviously a reprint in April, 1970 from his negative.

Robert Beichler General As 2-10-2s these were small, but rebuilt to good locos, 2 or 3 had their pilot and trailing trucks removed and used in hump yard service for increased traction and they also received smaller tenders. Very nice shot of a rare loco. 8/4/2013 8:27:05 PM
