Data from locomotive diagram published on Vernon Beck's website -- [] (accessed 22 March 2003). See also DeGolyer, Volume 38, p. 197. (Thanks to Chris Hohl for his 31 December 2017 email noting the original tender capacity.) Works number was 36795 in August 1911.
Firebox heating surface included 109.3 sq ft (10.15 sq m) of combustion chamber area. The Baldwin specs say that the engine was ordered with 395 2 1/4" tubes and was fitted with a feedwater heater in the forward end of the boiler that contributed 1,461 sq ft (135.73 sq m) of surface area. The feedwater heater had 344 2 1/4" tubes, each 7 ft (2,134 mm) long. A very small reheater in that same section had 31 2" (50.8 mm) tubes chipped in 160 sq ft (14.86 sq m). All four cylinders received their steam through 15" (381 mm) piston valves.
The original tender is described as a "standard Mikado 8,200 gallon", which was quite a bit smaller than the one in the data and carried coal. It weighed 160,000 lb (72,575 kg), held 8,200 US gallons (31,037 litres) and 13 tons (11.8 metric tons).
Drury (1993) doesn't say much about this lone Mikado Mallet, just that it was used for hump work at Galesburg and was later converted to oil-burning and transferred to Alliance, Nebraska from which it was retired and scrapped in August 1934.
