CB&Q 4-4-2 Class P-1-C 1591
Title:  CB&Q 4-4-2 Class P-1-C 1591
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-4-2 Class P-1-C 1591 presumed at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania sometime in 1899, photo by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. This locomotive was built as a Vaulclain compound by Baldwin sometime during 1898-1899, placed in service on the CB&Q on April 7, 1899. It was shopped for general repairs on Ju;ly 30, 1900, during which time it had accumulated 160,806 miles of service. A total of five P-1-C compounds were built for the CB&Q, road numbers 1591-1595, renumbered in 1904 to 2500-2504. During 1913 this locomotive was rebuilt to a simple expansion engine with 19 X 26 cylinders on both sides, reclassed as P-1, and was retired in January 1933. As built, it had 13.5 X 26 high pressure cylinders located above the 23 X 26 low pressure cylinders on each side. Stephenson valve gear actuated the 13 inch inboard piston valves. Underhung and equalized spring rigging was used under the drivers and trailing wheels. The tenders were similar to the one used under the Columbia type (2-4-2), later changed to conventional tenders with two four-wheel trucks.
