DMIR 2-8-8-4 #229 - Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range
Title:  DMIR 2-8-8-4 #229 - Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range
Description:  Lucky for it and us, this loco was donated for display rather than being sold for scrap like most of its sister units. This massive and powerful 2-8-8-4 Yellowstone type steam locomotive was built by Baldwin in January of 1943 as Duluth, Missabee & Iron #229 (serial #64708). It was ideally suited for handling 115-car, 8750-ton trains over .62% grades without stalling. Luckily for #229, it was saved from the scrapper's torch and donated to the Lake County Historical Society and now resides on display at Two Harbors, MN. Specs - 63" drivers, impressive 240 psi boiler pressure, 26x32" cylinders, massive engine wt of 699,700 lb and massive tractive force of 140,000 lb. No photographer was listed for the photo.
