- Description:
- In 1944 Baldwin Locomotive Works delivered a class F 2-8-2 to the West Point Route, assigned to the A&WP as No. 430. It had 63-inch drivers, 27x32-inch cylinders, and a boiler pressure of 190 p.s.i. It developed 59,800 pounds of tractive effort and weighed 325,000 pounds, the tender weighing as much as the locomotive. The grate area exceeded 70 square feet, evaporative heating surface totaled 4000 square feet, and the superheater surface totaled 1210 square feet. This Mikado was based on the heavy USRA design of 1918 but carried modern features such as Boxpok drivers, a one-piece cast trailing truck, and an Elesco coil-type feedwater heater. It was sent to the scrapyard in 1954.
