RERX 7
Title:  RERX 7
Description:  Reader Railroad 7 at Reader, Arkansas on July 31, 1986, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The following is from the readrrailroad.com web site: Number was built by Baldwin Locomotive Works #31063 June 1907, as Victoria Fisher & Western RR No. 7. This small wood burning Prairie was sold from the Victoria Fisher & Western RR to the Louisiana Long Leaf Lumber Company, and then made its home on the Reader Railroad. It has been in continual service as a wood burning locomotive since it was built.

KMRY 9
Title:  KMRY 9
Description:  Kettle Moraine Railway 2-6-2 number 9 at North Lake, Wisconsin on an unknown day in August, 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 9 was built by Baldwin in January 1901 (c/n 18596) for the McCloud River Railway and Lumber Company. It then passed to Yreka Western in 1939, Amador Central in 1944, Nez Pierce in 1945, then Kettle Moraine in 1966. The KMRY shut down on October 28, 2001, partly due to urban development. The town of Merton issued KM Railway two citations for violating the town's junk ordinance.

B&MR 2-6-2 Class R-2 368
Title:  B&MR 2-6-2 Class R-2 368
Description:  Burlington & Missouri River 2-6-2 Class R-2 368 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, sometime in 1901, photo by H. Tryon, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built by Baldwin in 1901 for the B&MR as R2 Comp. (Compound) 368 (c/n 18956), this Prairie type was equipped with a rigid trailing truck. This locomotive became CB&Q 1757 after the Burlington's systemwide renumbering during 1904. Sometime between 1918 and 1925, the R-2's were rebuilt into class G-8 0-6-0 switchers, retaining their R-2 road numbers. This particular locomotive was rebuilt during 1920 and retired in December 1935. During rebuilding, the Belpaire firebox was replaced with a conventional radial-stay design, the drivers were replaced with 52" diameter wheels, the boiler tubes were shortened and the front tube sheet was replaced, the pilot and trailing trucks were removed and the engine frame was rebuilt, the spring rigging was reworked, the driver brake rigging was replaced, another sand dome was added, a cast front pilot beam was added, and the cab deck was rebuilt. The driving wheel base was not changed, but the tender was altered for switching service. The following is from the book, "Steam Locomotives of the Burlington Route", by Bernard G. Corbin and Richard F. Kerka: With the satisfying operation of the Class R-1 Prairies, it was only natural that a larger engine of the same type, to handle heavier train loads, should be developed. The Class R-2 locomotive was the result. Fifty engines of this class were built by Baldwin in 1901, and an additional ten were completed at the West Burlington shops during the same year. Six of the Baldwin-built locomotives were Vauclain compounds, having cylinders of 16" and 27"X24". The remaining R-2 engines were single-expansion types, and had cylinder dimensions of 20"X24". As on the R-1 class, piston valves placed above the cylinders and actuated by Stephenson link motion controlled steam flow. Straight boilers with Belpaire fireboxes were used on both the compounds and the single-expansion engines. A longer tube length and a greater number of tubes increased the heating surface to 2,888 square feet, compared to 2,076 square feet for the R-1 engines. The design of the main frame, running gear, spring rigging, trailing truck suspension, and driving wheel diameter, 64", was the same as the R-1 engines. With a total engine weight of 170,000 pounds and a boiler pressure of 200 psi, the R-2 types developed a tractive force of 25,500 pounds.

H&StJ 2-6-2 Class R-2 687
Title:  H&StJ 2-6-2 Class R-2 687
Description:  Hannibal and Saint Joseph Railroad 2-6-2 Class R-2 687, delivered as number 841, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on an unknown date in 1901, photograph by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 687 was built by Baldwin in 1901 (c/n 18824), renumbered in 1904 to CB&Q 1734, sold for scrap in September 1948. The following is from the book, Steam Locomotives Of The Burlington Route, by Bernard G. Corbin and William F. Kerka:

Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad No. 570 to 573 were ordered originally as H&StJ 681 to 684. These were changed to KCStJ&CB, same numbers but, as the engines were to be used on the H&StJ, they were lettered with the initials of that road, and H&StJ 840 and 841 were ordered as H&StJ No. 686 and 687. These were changed to CB&KC, same numbers, but also lettered for the H&StJ. These changes were made at the Baldwin Works before the engines were delivered, which explains why the Baldwin Works issued a photograph of H&StJ 687 while the records show the engine to have been delivered under another number.

CB&Q 2-6-2 Class R-3 1721
Title:  CB&Q 2-6-2 Class R-3 1721
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-6-2 Class R-3 1721 presumed at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, sometime in 1902, photograph by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. Fifty of these class R-3 2-6-2 Prairie types were built by Baldwin for the CB&Q during 1902, assigned road numbers 1721-1770. During the 1904 systemwide renumbering, the R-3's became road numbers 1800-1849. Similar to the class R-2's, but with 14" more boiler tube length, they had 21"X26" cylinders, piston valves actuated by Stephenson valve gear, 69" drivers, capable of both passenger and freight assignments, total engine weight was 181,920 pounds, and could develop a tractive force of 28,200 pounds. Some of the R-3's were converted to class G-9 and G-9-A 0-6-0 switchers, but this one remained a 2-6-2 until retired in December 1928. I could be wrong but I believe this was the last application of the rigid frame trailing truck on a CB&Q locomotive. The trailing truck did not swivel, rather the axle bearings had enough slop built in to allow movement laterally within the journal boxes to account for curvature in the track.

CB&Q 2-6-2 Class R-4 1918
Title:  CB&Q 2-6-2 Class R-4 1918
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-6-2 Class R-4 1918 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, sometime during 1904, photo by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. Although someone wrote the date as 1909 on the photo, I referred to the book, Steam Locomotives Of The Burlington Route, by Bernard G. Corbin and William F. Kerka for the following information: In 1904, the R-4 Prairies made their appearance on the road. During that year, forty engines were built by Baldwin, and were assigned No. 1900-1939. The total engine weight of the R-4 Prairies was 208,550 pounds, their operating steam pressure was 210 psi, and they exerted a tractive force of 35,000 pounds. The boilers were of the straight-top design, but in place of the Belpaire-type firebox used on preceding classes, ones of radial-stay construction were used. The 12 inch piston-type valves were of the inboard type and were actuated by Stephenson link motion. The cylinder arrangement was similiar to the P-2 Atlantics. Although the piston rods were extended forward of the cylinders (for additional bearing support) on the first Baldwin-built Class R-4 engines, this was later modified and the extended portion was removed. Some of the R-4 locomotives had 22 X 28 inch cylinders, and others were equipped with cylinders of 25 inch bore. The operating steam pressure was reduced to compensate for the increase in cylinder diameter. By the end of 1925, 14 of the R-4 Prairies were rebuilt with new cylinders of 25 X 28 inch and Walschaerts valve gear was applied to them. These engines were reclassed R-4A. A number of R-4 locomotives were rebuilt to G-10 switchers. The rest retained their original construction features.. During World War II when the Southern Pacific Railroad became short of motive power, several of the R-4 engines were leased by that road and sent to the West Coast where they performed yard and branch-line duties. This particular R-4 was retired in December 1929.

CB&Q 2-6-2 Class R-5 2050
Title:  CB&Q 2-6-2 Class R-5 2050
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-6-2 Class R-5 2050, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, sometime in 1906, photo by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. Baldwin built fifty class R-5 2-6-2's for the CB&Q during 1906, numbered 2050-2099. They were basically an R-4 engine with a redesigned boiler. Fifty similar engines (#'s 2100-2149) were built by the Brooks Works of the American Locomotive Company during 1906, followed by an additional 75 (#'s 2150-2224) built by Brooks the following year. The R-5 Prairie had a boiler with a sloping course at the forward end of the barrel. The boiler shell diameter was thus tapered from 70 inches at the front to 79 inches at the firebox throat. Two of the Baldwin engines were fitted with fire-tube steam superheaters of the Emerson type. The successful performance of the superheaters (which increased the available energy from the steam for conversion to useful work) eventually led to their installation on other R-5 and R-4 locomotives. Although the total engine weight of the R-5 Prairies (159,540 pounds) was somewhat greater than that of the R-4 class (151,070 pounds), they developed about the same tractive force. Their cylinder dimensions (22" X 28"), operating boiler pressure (210 psi), and driving wheel diameter (69") were also the same. By the mid-1920's 15 of the R-5 engines had been rebuilt with new cylinders and valve gear of the Walschaerts type. The rebuilt engines were re-classed R-5A. The locomotive pictured was not rebuilt and was retired in June 1947. As built it had the piston rod extension seen above the pilot truck, which provided additional bearing support. This feature was later removed.
