Remarks & Notes

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 2-8-2 steam locomotive, number 15, was built for the Alton & Southern Railroad. According to the specifications listed on the back of the builder's card this engine had a total weight of 579,400 lbs., and a tractive force of 64,300 lbs. This Baldwin Locomotive Works builders photo card is from the John R. Doughty collection.
