The Paducah, KY Shops of the Illinois Central built a total of 76 "Mountain" type locomotives between 1937 and 1943. The 2500 series were built at the IC Paducah shops from older IC 2-10-2 boilers originally cuilt by Lima.
My grandfather, Jim Wilson, was one of the engineers who parked her there. She is looking much better these days.
She's a beaut, and looks well preserved!
