LSMS 4-4-0 #529 - Lake Shore & Michigan Southern
Title:  LSMS 4-4-0 #529 - Lake Shore & Michigan Southern
Description:  The photo is dated 9/10/1888 but entered here as 1900 since the site does not accept earlier dates. This photo, reprinted by W. R. Hicks possibly sometime in the 1940-50's, lists the builder as Grant Locomotive Works in 1881. The locomotive had 63" drivers, 17"x24" cylinders and generated 135 lbs psi boiler pressure. This information has not been confirmed. Interesting to note the engineer is posing for the photo and note also the huge dome just in front of the cab. Many 4-4-0's with this dome were rebuilt later with the boiler dome over the front drive axle.
