SLSF 4-6-4 #1069 - St Louis-San Francisco |
| Description: |
Nearly fresh from the SLSF West Springfield Shops where this powerful 4-6-4 Hudson was rebuilt from a 1917 Baldwin 4-6-2 Pacific. Note the wide side valence with matching paint scheme on the tender - a note of inexpensive "streamlining". A note on the back of the photo states "Diamond is "red"." The Hudson had a short service life with the introduction of diesels. It met its final fate at the scrapper's torch in February of 1951. Hudson specs - serial #45701, 74" drivers, 225 psi boiler pressure, 26x28" cylinders, engine weight of 360,960 lb, tractive effort of 48,919 lb. Arthur B. Johnson photo |

| Description: |
An unknown photographer caught this St Louis-San Francisco 4-6-4 Hudson #1069 as it sat in a Kansas City, MO. The SLSF West Springfield Shops did a Herculean job of rebuilding older 1917 Baldwin 4-6-2 Pacifics into these more powerful 4-6-4 Hudsons between 1937-40. Unfortunately, SLSF #1065 didn't serve long as it was scrapped in February of 1951. Hudson.specs - serial #45701, 74" drivers, 225 psi boiler pressure, 26x28" cylinders, engine weight of 360,960 lb, tractive effort of 48,919 lb.

SLSF 4-6-4 #1069 - St Louis-San Francisco |
| Description: |
An unknown photographer got a closer view of the rebuilt St Louis-San Francisco 4-6-4 Hudson while it was idle in the Kansas City yard. The SLSF West Springfield Shops rebuilt all of the 1917 Baldwin 4-6-2 Pacifics into these more powerful 4-6-4 Hudsons between 1937-40. They also added the inexpensive "semi-streamlined" wide side valence above the running gear and matched it with the paint scheme on the tender. Unfortunately this loco barely served for 11 years before it met its final fate at the scrapper's torch in February of 1951. Hudson specs - serial #45701, 74" drivers, 225 psi boiler pressure, 26x28" cylinders, engine weight of 360,960 lb, tractive effort of 48,919 lb. No date or photographer was listed for this photo so an approximate date was used.. |
