Sad photo of this S2 class 4-8-4, awaiting the end. Probably late-1950s, at St. Cloud, Minnesota maybe? Sister 2584 survives at havre, Montana.

Thanks for the photo. Until now, I wasn't aware that the GN S-2 class was vestibule cab. My great love the GN P-2 class was not. I learn something here so often and I'm grateful for the wealth of knowledge and experience.

Just as a side note Scott, they didn't come from the builder that way, but several were modified with all weather cabs along the way, I'm sure a very welcome addition for the crew when you consider where they operated...interestingly, the only presevered S-2, 2584, does not have one...

Cheers, Dave
