MILW 4-4-2 #21 - Milwaukee Road
Title:  MILW 4-4-2 #21 - Milwaukee Road
Description:  Good example of a Burnham, Wms & Co (Baldwin predecessor) 4-4-2 Atlantic type steam locomotive. Built in August of 1897, it was originally MILW #840, but the loco was renumbered several times - MILW 402 in 1899, MILW 902 in 1901, MILW 3002 in 1912 and finally MILW 21 in 1938. The loco served the Milwaukee Road long and well until being scrapped in May of 1940, about the time this photo was taken. This may very well be one of the very last photos before the scrapper's torch dismantled it. Original specs - serial #15462, class A1, 78" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, Vauclain compoumd with 22x26" & 13x26" cylinders, engine weight of 140,700 lb, modest tractive effort of 14,196 lb.

MILW #21 sits behind it and is awaiting the scrapper's torch too.

MILW 32 No Date No Location
Title:  MILW 32 No Date No Location
Description:  Data from "Baldwin 4-4-2 for the Idaho & Washington Northern" Railway and Locomotive Engineering, Vol 23, No 2 (February 1910), pp. 52-53. Baldwin Locomotive Works number was 33778 built in September 1909. When the Milwaukee took over the I&WN in 1916, they placed this locomotive in its own A-2/3s (Class A-4s/B-4s) class. In the 1930s, the 3135 was later considerably modified with a Schmidt superheater. At some point, the Milwaukee decided to remove the Baldwin smokebox superheater that had accompanied the locomotive when it was delivered to the Idaho & Washington Northern as number 31 in 1909. At the same time the shops mounted a new boiler, they also rolled in taller drivers. The result was a considerably heavier, but more powerful Atlantic that remained in service as a single-engine class until 1951.
