Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-8-2 Class O-3 5357 at Lincoln, Nebraska on an unknown day in July 1956, Kodachrome by Dick Rumbolz, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built by Baldwin in April 1919 (c/n 51742), sold for scrap in November 1960, this was one of 60 class O-3 2-8-2 locomotives delivered between 1915 and 1919, road numbers 5300-5359. The first 15 were built with alligator-type crossheads, the subsequent O-3's were equipped with Laird-type crossheads. Originally equipped with a Street automatic stoker, they were later equipped with either the Duplex or Standard MB stokers. The single stage air compressors were replaced with cross-compound pumps. Feedwater heaters were eventually installed on the O-3's, either the Coffin, Elesco, or Worthington BL types.
