Mar 21, 2025 · One was NKP 170 and the other was SLSF 4-8-2 #1522. An inspection was made, and the engines were both found to be in about the same condition, and both were deemed restorable. Supposedly, the Frisco engine was ultimetly chosen over #170 account of higher tractive effort (56,800 for the 1522 vs. 42,000 for the 4-6-4).

NKP’s Alco 4-6-4s and Alco 2-8-4s received homemade, sheet metal deflector cowls that used a circular steel strap wrapped around the whistle bowl and tightened (somewhat like a huge hose clamp) to keep the cowl ...

Dec 13, 2007 · NKP Hudson #170 at MofT could stand-in for sister 171 and there are six existing Berks that could take 751's spot, with #765 at Ft. Wayne presently operational. Monon boxcars exist at Linden, Indiana and ITM in Noblesville, although neither carry the "white stripe/The Hoosier Line" paint scheme.

Mar 4, 2025 · Like I said at the beginning the size and weight determines where it can travel, turn around, cost to maintain, insure, along with the cost of how much fuel and water it takes to operate. I would to keep the locomotive under 700 thousand pounds. NKP …
