N&W 2-8-8-2 #2156 - Norfolk & Western |
Description: |
According to the back of the photo, this was taken at Schaeffer's Crossing in Roanoke, VA - one heavy traffic area! Built by the N&W shops in 1942 as a class Y, this is an example of a true Mallet with both articulation and compound expansion (high & low pressure cylinder configuration). The locomotive had 57” drivers, developed a whopping 300 psi boiler pressure and a total tractive effort of 126,831 lb. Sadly, these brutes were all retired by April, 1960. |

Here is another shot of NW 2156 at Schaeffer's Crossing in Roanoke. Massive locos fill this yard. What a sight knowing that within 2 more years they would lose the mightiest of them all, the class Y Mallets! |

Another view of Schaeffer's Crossing in Roanoke, VA filled with the mightiest locomotives. All would change by 1960 when the class Y6 Mallets were retired. |

In what would be final shot of the special, NS train 956 comes around the curve and enters the WR Interlocking. Just passed the interlocking, the train would stop and would not move for 4 hours, while the crew tended to an over heating bearing on the rear axle of the tender. it took 3.5 hours to get from Kirkwood to WR tower in Granite City. |
