A massive Great Northern 2-8-8-0 steam engine stored at Superior WI in June 1958. |
| Description: |
This was at the end of steam where steam engines were stored in case of need during the fall grain rush across the GN system. The GN had a large yard in Superior WI that remains a large switching yard on the BNSF. 4 BNSF SD9's that once locked couplers with steam engines still remain on the BNSF in 2012. Search for BNSF 1553 on the archive. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2749873. This steam engine was based out of Allouez roundhouse. |

| Description: |
The GN stored many steam engines around the system thru the 1960s. This is at Superior WI GN yard near Duluth. The GN used these for hauling iron ore as an N3 class on the MN iron range. The boiler operated at 240 psi. Horsepower is estimated at over 6,400 HP. This engine weighed over 280 tons and 110 feet long. A modern diesel engine on average is 4,400 HP in the year 2011. Some N3 class steam engines were still running in 1954. This operated out of the Allouez GN roundhouse. |
