Built by Baldwin in April of 1927 as part of the "Presidential Series" of 4-6-2 Pacifics, this specific loco had the honor of carrying the name of President Van Buren duing its 30 years of service. The loco was retired in 1957 which means this photo may have been the last one before it was retired in this year. Supposedly, a year before (1956) it was renumbered to BO #104 according to the Baldwin records. Specs - |
