Drive wheels are 54 inches in diameter. Locomotive is a standard gauge engine. The JS8419 has an overall length of 76.67 feet. The maximum width is 11.07 feet and the maximum height is 15.46 feet. Weight: The total weight of the engine and tender in working order is 209 tons (approx.). This is 189.68 metric tons. Breakdown weights: - Engine and tender empty is 139.6 tons (126.7 mt) - Engine alone is 101.4 tons (92 mt) - Tender alone is 38.22 tons (34.7 mt) Fuel Capacity: 17.6 tons (Kentucky Coal) Water Capacity: 9,245.5 gallons (soft water and chemicals) Speed: Maximum allowable speed is 52.8 mph (85 km/h) Output at wheel rim: 1,670 kw or 2,770 hp (horsepower) Working steam pressure: 200 psi Stroke: 710 mm or 27.95 inches Wheel base: The total wheel base is 10,192 mm or 33.4 feet and the rigid wheel base is 14.5 feet Operating facts: The engine takes roughly 5-6 hours of starting up time when "cold" and about 2 hours when "warm". The crew consists of 1 driver, 1 fireman, 2 wiper (greasemen) and 2 water and cleaning men. Each run consumes about 1,500 gallons of water and less than 1 ton of coal. The cab temperature on a hot day can exceed 120 degrees F. 2-8-0, Crab Orchard and Egyptian #17 STATIC DISPLAY #17 was built by the Canadian Locomotive Company in 1940 for the Roberval and Saquenay mining railroad in Northern Quebec. It was the last 2-8-0 built in Canada. It spent 20 years hauling bauxite. The Crab Orchard and Egyptian Railroad bought it in 1975 and sold it to the Iowa Railroad Historical Society in 1987. It has 57" diameter wheels, 23" diameter cylinders with a 30" stroke, boiler pressure of 200 pounds, total weight on drivers of 204,200 pounds, total locomotive weight of 230,720 pounds. Maximum tractive effort of 47,300 pounds. Its 8 wheel tender holds 7,000 imperial gallons of water and 14 tons of coal. It was originally equipped with a winterized cab, superheater, feed water heater, and stoker, all of which were later removed by the CO&E. Its headlight was from an ex-IC electric trailer car. The #17 has had its flues removed and discarded. Its jacket and insulation have been removed and the jacket pieces saved. All the grates, the turbo generator, bell, and all piping and appliances in the cab have been removed and are stored separate from the engine. The front and rear flue sheets were replaced by the CO&E when the superheater tubes were removed. #17 has a front mounted air compressor. Major work would need to be performed to make the locomotive operational again, including: smoke box rebuilding, new flues, new fire brick, insulation, jacket, rebuilding the bottom of the fire box, water legs and mud ring replaced, main bearing work. The 2-8-0 is on display on the north east corner of our property.
