Here is another example of a Baldwin built Mikado, this one built in 12/1915, as an M-1 class loco with 61.5" drivers and 24"x32" cylinders.Nickname "Big Dutch Mikes" by the Reading shops, they were rebuilt in 1924 & again in 1943 changing cylinder size and driving wheel diameters during the process and reclassified as an M-1sa class. All were scrapped by the late 1940's. Joseph Schick photo.
