After over 30 years of service, the entire class of 25 M1 locos was scrapped between 1953-55 to make room for the more efficient diesels. Wabash #2805 met the scrapper's torch in September of 1955. Specs - serial #61154, class M1, 70" drivers, 235 psi boiler pressure, 27x32" cylinders, engine weight of 406,400 lb, tractive effort of 66,568 lb.

WAB 4-8-2 #2807 |
| Description: |
When compared to some of the earlier locomotives in this album built in 1890's and early 1900's, this massive 1930 Baldwin locomotive is powerful, sophisticated and the product of years of constant research and development. This Mountain-type locomotive boasted 70" drivers and a whopping 235 psi boiler pressure but came near the end of steam. It was retired sometime between 1953-55, barely working 25 years. No known survivors of this class are known. No known location or date for this photo made by Forrest Trittenbach. |

WAB 4-8-2 #2822 - Wabash RR |
| Description: |
Beautiful sepia tinted original photo of a 12/1930 Baldwin built Mountain-type locomotive Wabash 4-8-2 #2822 (serial #61205). I left the photo in its original sepia color as it creates a warm, nostalgic portrait of this powerful loco. The class was retired in the mid 1950's with no survivors. Wabash #2822 met up with the scrapper's torch in September of 1955 after 24 years of service to the Wabash. Specifics - 70" drivers, 235 psi boiler pressure, 27x32" cylinders, engine weight of 406,400 lb and tractive effort of 66,568 lb. The date is approximate and no photographer was listed for this beautiful portrait unfortunately. |
