NP F1 2-8-0 485

Northern Pacific F1 2-8-0 (circa 1890s).

When the Northern Pacific's F1 class 2-8-0s were first built in 1888, they were some of the largest engines in the world. 33 were built over a period of two years. These engines were initally designed to work on Cascade Pass as helpers. Over time, the class spread out over the NP's Pacific Northwestern lines, doing all sorts of branchline jobs, often hauling log trains, or switching in smaller yards. 7 members of the class were sold to the Spokane, Portland, and Seattle.
Thanks in part to their low 51 inch drivers and high tractive effort, the F1s enjoyed a long life. While many had been scrapped in the 1920s, the first of the class lasted until 1947, and some others lasted into the mid 1950s.

Cylinders: 22x28 (diameter x stroke)
Drivers: 51 inch diameter
Tractive Effort: ~33,000 lbs
Boiler Pressure: 160 PSI
Weight: 150,000 lbs
Fuel: Coal
