Title:
DMIR 2-8-8-4 #226 - Duluth Missabe & Iron Range

With a blast of smoke and a whistle blowing, Duluth Missabe & Iron Range 2-8-8-4 #226 moves along the tracks. Built by Baldwin in ay of 1941 (serial #62532, class M3), this behemoth was a powerful force on the rails. After nearly 21 years of service, the loco was finally sold for scrap in 1962 and what a scrap pile that would have made! Specs - 63" drivers, impressive 240 psi boiler pressure, 26x32" cylinders, engine weight of 695,040 lb, impressive tractive effort of 140,000 lb. Max Miller photo
