IHC Premier M9904 CB&Q Class S-3 4-6-2 Pacific Locomotive #3005
"Burlington's first Pacifics were class S-1, delivered by Baldwin and Schenectady between 1906 and 1909. The design was developed from the R-5 Prairie, and the early S-1s had a number of parts that were interchangeable with the 2-6-2s, such as journals and cylinders. The S-1s had 74" drivers and weighed 234,000 pounds. The S-2s, built almost immediately after the S-1s, weighed about the same but had 69" drivers and 25" x 28" cylinders, giving them 3,500 pounds more tractive effort. Within a few years the S-2s were given 74" drivers. S-1 Pacifics 2800-2844 were built with inboard piston valves and Stephenson valve gear, but the other S-1s and the S-2s had the curious combination of inboard valves and Walschaerts gear. When the classes were rebuilt to S1A and S-2A between 1923 and 1930 they received outboard piston valves and superheaters, and 2800-2844 were fitted with Walschaerts gear. Most of the two classes received feedwater heaters. Burlington's third class of Pacifics was the S-3, which had the 74" drivers of the S-1 plus 27" x 28" cylinders and a boiler pressure of 180 pounds. It was slightly lighter than the USRA light Pacific but produced a little more tractive effort. Baldwin delivered 15 in 1915 and 10 in 1918.
