CNW 4-6-2 #505 - Chicago & North Western
Description:
Although an E9 wore the CNW #505 later, the first to do so on the CNW roster was this 1909 Alco-Schenectady built Pacific. It was an E class loco with 75" drivers and could develop a very respectable boiler pressure of 200 psi to feed to its 25"x28" cylinders. The engine weight came in at 260,000 lb and its tractive effort was a medium 39,667 lb. Unfortunately its days of service are fast drawing near as the age of steam is disappearing in the 1950's.

CNW 4-6-2 #614 - Chicago & North Western
Description:
Built by Alco-Schenectady in October of 1916 as CNW 1614, it led a useful life for the Chicago & North Western. The loco was rebuilt in August of 1941 with an added stoker and an increased psi. Surprisingly, the loco was still in full service in 1954 and ironically, its last run on 5/22/1956 in Chicago was to replace a broken down diesel. Rebuilt specs - serial #56233, class E, 75" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 25x28" cylinders, engine wt of 263,500 lb, tractive effort of 39,600 lb. A stoker was applied in May of 1942. No photographer was listed for the photo.

Description:
Long before an SW1 carried the number 615, it belonged to the Alco-Schenectady 4-6-2 Pacific built in October of 1916 but as #1615 originally. The loco was later rebuilt as an E-S class member and renumbered 615 in 1952 as seen in the photo. It stayed on the roster through 10/1 1952. Disposition unknown. An unknown photographer caught it as it sat in Marshfield, WI. Original specs - serial #56234, nee-#1615, E class, 75" drivers, 185 psi boiler pressure, 25x28" cylinders, engine weight of 260,000 lb, tractive effort of 36,692 lb.

Description:
One of the nearly 200 4-6-2 Pacifics that was the backbone of Chicago & North Western commuter service for decades, CNW 4-6-2 #615 is an excellent example of the E class. Built by Alco-Schenectady in October of 1916 as CNW #1615, it was later renumbered to simply CNW 615 in 1952. No final disposition date was found but it would have been scrapped by late 1950's. Specs - class E, 75" drivers, 185 psi boiler pressure, 25x28" cylinders, engine wt of 263,500 lb, tractive effort of 39,600 lb. A stoker was applied in July of 1943. No photographer was listed for the photo.

CNW 4-6-2 #617 - Chicago & North Western
Description:
One of only two E class Pacifics to be fitted with an air-smoothed casing like the E-4 Hudsons (#620 was the other loco), CNW #617 looks odd as it sits in the scrap line in Chicago, IL, with the missing piece over its smokestack. Originally built by Alco-Schenectady in September of 1917 as CNW 1617, it went through a major rebuild in October of 1941 included the streamlined engine shroud, an applied stoker and an increased boiler pressure to psi to 200 psi. It was renumbered CNW 617 in 1952. After nearly 39 years of service the loco was scrapped on 7/6/1956. Rebuilt specs - class E, 75" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 25x28" cylinders, engine wt of 279,000 lb, tractive effort of 39,600. No photographer was listed for the photo.

CNW 4-6-2 #620 - Chicago & North Western
Description:
Only two class E 4-6-2 Pacifics were given the streamlined shroud - CNW #620 seen here and CNW #617. Originally built by Alco-Schenectady as a traditional CNW 4-6-2 Pacific #1620, it went through several changes during its lifetime. In August of 1938, the boiler pressure was increased to 200 psi resulting in an increased tractive effort. In February of 1940, a stoker was applied. In December of 1941, the loco was streamlined with a new engine shroud seen in this photo. Finally, the loco was renumbered CNW 620 in 1952. After nearly 39 years of service, the loco was scrapped in August of 1956. This may be one of the very last photos taken of it before meeting the scrapper's torch. Rebuilt specs - class E, 75" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 25x28" cylinders, engine wt of 263,500 lb, tractive effort of 39,600 lb. No photographer was listed for the photo.

CNW 4-6-2 #1538 - Chicago & North Western
Description:
Beautiful action shot by an unknown photographer of Chicago & Noth Western 4-6-2 Pacific #1538 pulling into the passenger staton in Arlington Heights, IL. Built by Alco-Schenectady in 1910, this group of Pacifics (#1530-1540) were the only Es delivered with 23" diameter cylinders - both the North Western and Alco came to the same conclusion and adopted 25" cylinders beginnning with 1541. Later, CNW shops superheated the class. The date is approximate based on the parked autos near the station.

Chicago & North Western 4-6-2 #1574
Description:
Although a GP7 would carry the number later, this Alco Pacific had it first. Gleaming in the afternoon sun, it demonstrates the high maintenance these mostly passenger locos were afforded. Tall 75" drivers gives it a scared rabbit look and some speed pulling the coaches. This is a Robert M. Hanft photo.

CNW 4-6-2 #1590 - Chicago & North Western
Description:
Long before a GP7 wore the number 1590, this 1914 Alco-Schenectady built Pacific held it. Here it sits in the yard at Keeler Avenue in Chicago, IL, twenty five years after it was built and still looking pretty darned good! The loco was renumbered sometime after 1944 and it lasted on the roster as of 10/1/1952. Finally disposition is unknown. Specifics - 75" drivers, 185 psi boiler pressure, 25x28" cylinders, engine weight of 260,000 lb, tractive effort of 36,692 lb. C.B. Medin photo
