| Here is an example of a "Pheonix" that arose from the ashes of an older 2-10-2. The Frisco West Springfield shops built this monster from the parts of 2-10-2 locos in 1937. Specs - 70" drivers, 250 psi boiler pressure, 27x30" cylinders, engine weight of 431,110 lb, tractive effort of 66,400 lb. Loco #4310 was eventually converted to oil burner and required a larger tender. James Bowie photo |
