My great, great uncle Robert F. McKee, Sr., was a design engineer at Baldwin and he would give my father different Baldwin Locomotive Works builder's cards when my father would visit him in Collingswood, New Jersey. This beautiful 4-8-4 Northern, number 206, was built for the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad. According to the specifications listed on the back of the builder's card, this engine and tender had a total weight of 887,450 lbs., and it had a tractive force of 70,800 lbs. This Baldwin Locomotive Works builders photo card is from the John R. Doughty collection.
