CB&Q 2-10-2 Class M-1 6000
Title:  CB&Q 2-10-2 Class M-1 6000
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-10-2 Class M-1 6000 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on an unknown day in March 1912, photograph by Baldwin Locomotive Works, print by H. L. Broadbelt, Chuck Zeiler collection. First a note about the following information: it is excerpted from the book, Steam Locomotive Of The Burlington Route, by Bernard G. Corbin and William F. Kerka. Usually reliable, while cleaning the photo I noted the builder's construction number as 37599, March 1912. This conflicts with the numbers in the book, which show number 6000's c/n as 37592, and number 6003's number as 37599. I'm going with the photographic evidence, however, it is possible that Baldwin dressed up 6003 as 6000 for the photo. Five Class M-1 2-10-2's were built by Baldwin for the CB&Q in 1912 (road numbers 6000-6004), at the time the largest non-articulated locomotives ever built. They were intended for the southern Illinois coal fields, exerted a tractive force of 71,500 pounds with a weight-on-drivers of 301,800 pounds. Originally fitted with Barnum under-fed stokers (which forced coal by screw conveyors through four horizontal troughs in the bottom of the firebox), they were eventually refitted with conventional over-feed types. Although the rigid wheelbase was 20 feet 9 inches, they could negotiate a 21 degree curve, as considerable lateral motion was allowed in the first and fifth driving axles. To provide for this, the knuckle pins were fitted into spherical bushings of cast-hardened steel in the side-rod stubs on the second and fourth pair of drivers. An unusual feature of the M-1 locomotives was the use of additional counterweights on the main driving axle. This consisted of two cast-steel bobs placed between the frames and keyed to the axle. The mass of the reciprocating and revolving parts, and the small size (63 inch) of the driving wheels, would have made it impossible to balance the engine properly without these additional counterweights. This particular locomotive (and 6003) was retired in December 1933.

CB&Q 2-10-2 Class M-2 6100
Title:  CB&Q 2-10-2 Class M-2 6100
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class M-2 6100 , date, location, and photographer unknown, print by Tom Klinger, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 6100 was built by Baldwin in 1914 (c/n 41453) and sold for scrap in December 1951. Based on the scrap date, I referred to the CB&Q Locomotive Assignment Sheet dated December 1, 1950, and determined that number 6100 was assigned to the Beardstown Division on that date.

CB&Q 2-10-2 Class M-2-A 6109
Title:  CB&Q 2-10-2 Class M-2-A 6109
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-10-2 Class M-2-A 6109 presumed at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on an unknown day in June 1914, photograph by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, print by H. L. Broadbelt, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 6109 was built June 1914 (c/n 41489) and retired March 1952. The following is from the book, Steam Locomotives Of The Burlington Route, by Bernard G. Corbin and!Richard F. Kerka: The successful operation of the first five 2-10-2 types prompted the Burlington to order additional engines of this wheel arrangement from the Baldwin Locomotive Works. Engines No. 6104 - 6125 were delivered in 1914 and were classed as M-2. Number 6110 was exhibited at the Panama Pacific#International Exposition held in San Francisco during that year. The M-2 class incorporated a number of modifications compared with the 2-10-2's built in 1912. For example, a superheater of the Schmidt type was employed, a brick arch (supported on water tubes) was placed in the firebox, and an automatic!Street stoker fired the boiler. A number of other detail changes were incorporated, but basically the M-1 and M-2 engines were closely similar in principal dimensions, weights, and hauling capacity. To reduce the dynamically unbalanced forces on the rails, two of the M-2 locomotives, No. 6108 and 6109, were experimentally fitted with light-weight riciprocating parts made from heat-treated alloy steel. As was done on the Class S-3 Pacifics, the piston rods and crank pins were bored hollow, and to further reduce weight, the Laird-type crossheads were adopted. By reducing the aggregate weight of the reciprocating parts by 379 pounds (or 16 percent) compared to the earlier 2-10-2 types, the additional counterweights that had been keyed to the main axles of the M-1 engines were no longer needed. Engines No. 6108 and 6109 were then classed as M-2-A.

Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-10-2 Class M-2 6119, date, location, and photographer unknown, prknt by Tom Klinger, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 6119 was built by Baldwin in 1914 (c/n 41658), and sold for scrap in December 1951. It appears to be in a scrap line" so the best guess on the date would be in late 1951, and the location might be Sheridan, Wyoming, its last assigned base, based on the CB&Q Locomotive Assignment Sheet dated December 1, 1950.

CB&Q 2-10-2 Class M-2-A 6158
Title:  CB&Q 2-10-2 Class M-2-A 6158
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-10-2 Class M-2-A 6158 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on an unknown day in November 1920, photograph by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 6158 was built in November 1920 (c/n 54121) and retired in March 1954. The class M-2a was an improvement over the class M-2, specifically the use of light-weight running gear. The weight of the reciprocating parts (the rods) produced stress on the track (known as dynamic augment) on each revolution of the wheels, causing damage to the track and roadbed. As the size of the locomotive increased this became increasingly difficult to counter-balance. The Burlington conducted a series of bridge deflection tests around 1914 with four locomotives. The results showed stress at as little as 5 mph with standard rods, and at 40 mph, the stress was 60 percent greater with standard rods than it was with light-weight rods. As a result, the earlier built M-2 class locomotives were fitted with light-weight parts as they came due for class repairs, and the M-2a locomotives were fitted with disc main drivers for faster operation.
