Interesting loggin Prairie tank produced relatively late in the day. Oil-fired, superheated with a good-sized firebox, short driving wheelbase, but relatively long engine wheelbase. A note in the specs said that given the "condition of the rails, it is desirable to keep weight down as much as possible." The boiler delivered steam to the cylinders through 8" (203 mm) piston valves. To compensate for the extreme inclines, the crown sheet was to have a slope consistent with operating the engine on 8% grades. Line curvatures could reach 50 degrees.
The OP & E first appeared as the Oregon & Southeastern in 1904, but was reorganized in 1914 when the OP & E bought the O & S assets. Three years after it was delivered to the A & M LC, the 1acquired the Oregon, Pacific & Eastern herald, which it bore until its retirement in 1959 as a static display.
