Illinois Central 4-8-2 No. 2547 appears in a photo the late Bruce Meyer took in the mid-1950s, likely somewhere along the Illinois main lines that were these locomotives' favored territory. Bruce seems to have preferred the faster Kodak Tri-X film, hence the somewhat grainier appearance of this image. For the dimensions of these 2500-series Mountains, see the commentaries on Nos. 2502 and 2528. No. 2547 was rebuilt from 2-10-2 No. 2965 in 1942, and went to scrap in January 1959. Of this class, only Nos. 2500 and 2542 are preserved on display.
