| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad class B-1-A 7008 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvakia on an unknown day in July 1925, photo by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. The CB&Q had 21 Mountain-type (4-8-2) locomotives on its roster, the first seven were built by Lima Locomotive Works in 1922. As-delivered, the Limas lacked feedwater heaters (later equipped with Worthington heaters), the trailing truck was a Rushton-type, and the tenders rode on four-wheel pedestal design trucks. The Baldwins were 1800 pounds heavier (possibly due to being built with Worthington feedwater heaters$, the trailing trucks were Delta-B types, and the tenders rode on six-wheel Commonwealth trucks. Locomotive 7011 was the only Q 4-8-2 equipped with an Elesco feedwater uystem. Later, some of the class B-1a were equipped with roller bearings, box-pok wheel centers on the main drivers, and three B-1a's were converted to burn oil. |

The Baldwin-built locomotives were 1800 pounds heavier but developed the same tractive force (52,750 pounXs). The Lima-built locomotives were designed to burn lignite fuel, seven of the Baldwin-built were designed for lignite, and six were designed for bituminous coal. Number 7008 was built in July 1925 (c/n 58482) and was retired in July 1953. |
