CB&Q 4-4-2 P-6-A 2591
Title:  CB&Q 4-4-2 P-6-A 2591
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-4-2 class P-6-A 2591, date, location, and photographer unknown, print by Tom Klinger, Chuck Zeiler collection. The chosen date and location based on the February 1, 1952 CB&Q Locomotive Assignment Sheet. However, a couple of tall buildings can be seen just in front of the pilot, so I suspect this might be East Alton, Illinois. Number 2591 was built by the Rogers Locomotive And Machine Works of Patterson, New Jersey in 1903 as class P-2 number 1579, renumbered in 1904 to 2523. In 1927 it was rebuilt by the CB&Q to class P-6-A and renumbered to 2591. It was retired and sold for scrap in April 1954. The difference between a class P-6 and P-6-A was simply the original locomotives; the P-6's were Baldwins, the P-6-A's were Rogers.
