CNW 4-6-2 #2908 with a rare "Sky Spotlight" - Chicago & North Western |
| Description: |
A much later 1923 E2a class Alco Pacific type loco when compared to #1574 listed earlier, this one carries the proud "Route of the 400" triangular sign on the front. It sported the 79" drivers and a solid 225 psi boiler pressure. Patrick McNamara (see comment below) identified the strange looking angling "canister" on the front above the faceplate as a sky light used to announce the arrival of the crack CNW premier passenger train. Thanks, Patrick, for the info. This is a unique feature I was totally unaware of until now! |
