SLSF 4-6-0 #1401 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco)
Title:  SLSF 4-6-0 #1401 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco)
Description:  Good looking 4-6-0 ten wheeler built by Burnham, Wms & Co (Baldwin predecessor) in December of 1907. Since the work numbers were not assigned in order, the serial number is unknown for this loco. The 1400s were never converted to oil burning, although their boilers were superheated by the Frisco Shops in the 1920's. The class was "dismissed from service" between March 1950 and November 1951.

Description:  Heading up a long string of varnish in the action shot is the 1910 Baldwin 4-6-2 Pacific, SLSF #1019. The location was undecipherable - looks like "Leming Cabost, MO". With Mike Woodruff's code breaking help (see comment below), the location is Cabool, MO. Thanks, Mike! Arthur B. Johnson photo

SLSF 4-6-2 #1018 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco)
Title:  SLSF 4-6-2 #1018 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco)

SLSF 4-6-0 #713 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco)
Title:  SLSF 4-6-0 #713 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco)
Description:  Besides a GP38 wearing the number "713", this Alco-Brooks 4-6-0 ten wheeler did at a much earlier date. The loco was built in June of 1906. A note on the back states "dead in train" so much be in route to the Frisco shops as dead weight of a steam loco was not done very often by railroads. The locos in this 695 class were superheated by the Frisco shops and lasted into the late 1940's and early 1950's before retirement. Charles E. Winters photo

Description:  One of three specially painted 1943 Baldwin built Northerns used to head up the Frisco's premier train, The Meteor, daily between Oklahoma City and St Louis.

SLSF 4-6-0 #1409 - "Frisco", St Louis-San Francisco Rwy
Title:  SLSF 4-6-0 #1409 - "Frisco", St Louis-San Francisco Rwy
Description:  Here is another 1907 Burnham, Williams & Co (Baldwin) built ten wheeler sitting with others in a storage line at Fort Smith, Arkansas. Note the window carefully covered and all parts are still attached. By 1950-51, all in her class had been retired so she still has several more years to go in this photo, especially during WWII.

Description:  This is one of the 1905 Alco-Schenectady ten wheelers built originally for the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis RR, part of the Frisco family. I'm not sure but this may be a photo copy of an original print.

SLSF 4-6-2 #1007 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco)
Title:  SLSF 4-6-2 #1007 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco)
Description:  If the date on this photo is correct, this Alco-Brooks 4-6-2 looks like it has just been delivered even though it has served over 45 years. A note on the back of the photo states "on '20-21'" - not sure what this reference is. Jonathan Spurlock (see comment below) has speculated it is in reference to train #20/21 which makes sense. Thanks, Jonathan! Built by Alco-Brooks in February of 1904, it was one of the first Pacifics on the Frisco roster. Specs - serial #28697, class 1000, 69" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 20x26" cylinders, engine weight of 193,550 lb, tractive effort of 25,623 lb. No photographer was listed for the photo.

Title:  SLSF 4-6-0 #1102 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco)
Description:  A proud engineer leans out his window of this Alco-Schenectady built 4-6-0 ten wheeler, SLSF #1102. Orginally built in 1906 for the CSNO & P Railroad, it was eventually merged into the Frisco. A note on the back states "Note - manual reverse. No. 20" Charles E. Winters photo

SLSF 2-8-0 #1331 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco)
Title:  SLSF 2-8-0 #1331 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco)
Description:  Nice 1912 Alco-Schenectady 2-8-0 Consolidation now sitting on the deadline after nearly 40 years of work. The loco was part of the 1306 class built to the USRA standards. They were dismissed from service between 7-17-51 & 2-25-52. A note on back confirms it - it states "now scrapped". Arthur B. Johnson photo
