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. |

A Yellowstone is on display now, but about 50 years ago, these steam engines would have been used on the Iron Range, the mighty stream engine is the largest in Minnesota with only 3 left in existance. This one sits silently wishing it could be working like IC #6261 is right now |
