LN 4-8-2 #400 - Louisville & Nashville
Title:  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 2-8-2 #1520 - Louisville & Nashville
Title:  LN 2-8-2 #1520 - Louisville & Nashville
Description:  Long before a U25C loco wore the L&N number1520, this 2-8-2 Mikado had the honor. Built by Alco in 1920 as a USRA Light Mikado, the loco lasted to the 1950's when the L&N dieselized their roster. Specs - class J-3, 63" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 26x30" cylinders, engine weight of 292,000 lb, tractive effort of 54,724 lb. Max Miller photo

LN GP9 #545 - Louisville & Nashville
Title:  LN GP9 #545 - Louisville & Nashville
Description:  This EMD GP9 locomotive turns out to be quite a boomer as it bounced from one railroad roster to another during its service. Originally built by EMD in February of 1957 as Chicago & Eastern Illinois #238, it became MP #345, TP #345 before landing on the Louisville & Nashville roster as their #545. It didn't stop there as it eventually became SCL #2413. No photographer, date or location was listed for this b&w slide. However, with C&EI boxcars in the background, it is most likely Evansville where the C&EI interchanged with the L&N. The date is approximate and set before its renumbering as a SCL member in 1971.
