CEI 4-6-0 #158 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Title:  CEI 4-6-0 #158 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Description:  Here is a very early ten-wheeler built in 1902 by the Pittsburgh Locomotive Works, C&EI class T-23. It had tall 78" drivers and could develop 200 psi boiler pressure for its compound 22½ and 35X30 cylinders. The engine weight was 165,000 lbs, but after rebuilt to simple in 1904 with 20X26 cylinders, it weighed 174,800 lbs and it could produced 22,667 lb of tractive effort. It was renumbered to 616 (class G-3) in 1911 and dismantled by the C&EI in 1929. No date or location was given but it almost appears to be a builder's photo so the date and location are based on that premise. R.H Kennedy

CEI 2-8-0 #229 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois (ex-Frisco?)
Title:  CEI 2-8-0 #229 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois (ex-Frisco?)
Description:  Thanks to several people (see comments below) who left comments when I ran into trouble researching this unusual photo of a cab marked "Frisco" but a C&EI tender. This was originally built by Alco-Schenectady in 1904 as Chicago & Indiana Coal Rwy #229 which was under C&EI control. The H-5 class was absorbed into the CEI in 1911 which was in turn under the control of the SLSF (Frisco) RR. It was renumbered 873 and reclassified as C-39. The locos were eventually scrapped in Danville, IL, in July of 1934. Original Specs - serial #29064, class H-5, 58" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 21x30" cylinders, engine weight of 182,000 lb, tractive effort of 38,778 lb. James Bowie was the photographer. Althouth it took me awhile to get the page updated, I want to thanks to Robert Beichler, Grayson Warbritton, and Chuck Zeiler for their assistance.

CEI 0-6-0 #3641 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Title:  CEI 0-6-0 #3641 - Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Description:  Standing outside the roundhouse at an unidentified location are two Baldwin B-4 class 0-6-0 switchers built between 1906-10. CE&I #3641 was built in June of 1906 as C&EI #19 (serial #28489, class S-38) but was renumbered in 1911 to C&EI 3641. It was leased to the KCS from 10/8/1942-6/5/1943. The loco was scrapped in November of 1947 by the C&EI. Unfortunately the number on the 2nd loco is unreadable. The entire B-4 class was retired over the period between 1934-48. The date, location and photographer were not listed on this print.

Built by Burnham, Wms, & Co in 1906, this Consolidation is still working the yard in this undated photo (date listed in approximate). Frank Smars photo
