IC 2-8-0 #719 - Illinois Central
Title:  IC 2-8-0 #719 - Illinois Central
Description:  A young Don Morice photographed this 1902 Rogers built 2-8-0 Consolidation #719 sitting in the scrap line in Paducah, KY. In 1920, the entire 651 class was modified and rebuilt by the IC Paducah shops. So after over 50 years of service, it was relegated to the scrap line here along with IC 2-10-2 #2711. #2711 was an IC shops rebuild of a 1921 Lima 2-10-2 #2911. No exact day in August of 1957 was given for the negative.

IC 2-10-2 #2809 - Illinois Central
Title:  IC 2-10-2 #2809 - Illinois Central
Description:  Here is an example of a Lima built 2-10-2 built between 1920-23 that underwent a major rebuild by the IC Paducah shops in 1944-45. The loco was then renumbered 2809. The 20 rebuilt 2-10-2's were eventually scrapped between 1957-62. One sideline note - the IC didn't call this 2-10-2 wheel configuration a "Santa Fe" loco like most railroads did. They preferred the term "Central" for the 2-10-2 config. No date, location or photographer was given for the photo so approximates were used.

Illinois Central 2-10-2 #2819
Title:  Illinois Central 2-10-2 #2819
Description:  Originally built by Lima in 1923, it was rebuilt and renumbered by IC. The 2-10-2 wheel arrangement was usually labeled as "Santa Fe" but with the 125 ordered from Lima they were known as "Centrals" instead. Used for freight hauling, this class was torn apart & rebuilt by the IC Paducah shops into different wheel arrangements like 2-8-2, 2-10-0, 4-8-2 and even 0-10-0. The class was scrapped between 1958-62.

IC 2-10-2 #3004 - Illinois Central
Title:  IC 2-10-2 #3004 - Illinois Central
Description:  Long before a GP40 wore the number 3004, this Lima 2-10-2 Santa Fe type locomotive built in January of 1923 held the number, IC #3004. The IC Shops rebuilt the loco in October of 1943 and renumbered it to IC 2727. It fell to the scrapper's torch after retirement in December of 1959. Original loco specs from SteamLocomotives.com - 63" drivers, 190 psi boiler pressure, 30x32" cylinders, engine weight of 382,000 lb, tractive effort of 73,829. Part of the 2901 class were rebuilt into 4-8-2's while the rest had many improvements along the way including raising the boiler pressure to 240 psi. Several differences in online resources can be attributed to the various upgrades that were applied to some and not others over several years. No photographer was listed for this photo.
