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 handsome 4-6-4 was built for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, number 3000. It had a tractive force of 47,700 lbs., and a combined engine and tender weight in working order of 717,900 lbs. This Baldwin Locomotive Works builders photo specification card is from the John R. Doughty collection.
Dedicated to my father, John R. Doughty, Sr., and to his great uncle, Robert F. McKee, Sr., who worked at the Baldwin Locomotive Works as a senior design engineer, including working on the design for the Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range 2-8-8-4 Yellowstones
