GN 0-6-0 #27 - Great Northern Builder's Photo |
| Description: |
This appears to be a builtder's photo of Great Northern 0-6-0 #27 at the Brooks Locomotive Works in Dunkirk, NY in 1882. RRPA data base would not accept the 1882 build date. This was a few decades before Brooks would join the ALCO group. It was originally built as St Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba #194 in 1882 but renumbered GN #194 in 1892. It was renumbered again to GN @27 in November of 1899. After a combined 34 years of service, the loco was scrapped in September of 1916. Original specs - 48" drivers (reblt to 49"), modest 140 psi boiler pressure, 17x24" cylinders, modest engine weight of 67,050 lb, modest tractive effort of 16,840 lb. The loco was a class A-4. |
