Photo taken at Peoria, Illinois July, 1952: http://abpr2.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi? ... nkp639.jpg This Mike is now on display in Bloomington, Illinois. Note the tender trucks. Six wheel truck in front and four wheel truck in the rear. The Nickel Plate apparently experimented with this odd arrangement on various tenders including their Hudsons for a time. This is the only NKP engine preserved with this tender wheel arrangement however. Are there any other preserved steamers with odd wheel trucks? Les |
