No information is forthcoming about the date and location of this photo of Milwaukee Road 4-6-2 No. 838, but evidently she appears here making a station stop on a rather weed grown secondary line of which this granger railroad had its fair share. A member of class F5, she was originally outshopped by ALCo's Brooks works as early as 1914 as a member of class F4 and subsequently rebuilt. No. 838 originally bore a number in the 6300 series, being renumbered in 1938. Engines of this much-modified group had 25x28-inch cylinders, 200 p.s.i. of boiler pressure, and a driver diameter of 73 inches. They weighed 253,000 pounds and developed 40,753 pounds of tractive effort. Grate area totaled nearly 49 square feet, and they had 2977 square feet of evaporative heating surface and 620 square feet of superheating surface. Retirement for the groujp was complete by 1954. This image, by an unidentified photographer, was acquired from an eBay vendor.
