The Lehigh Valley Railroad received six 3-cylinder "Mountain" typelocomotive from the American Locomotive Company in 1923 and 1924. Theselocomotives were designated Class S-1 and were assigned road numbers5000 through 5005. They had 25 x 28 cylinders, 69" drivers, a 200 psiboiler pressure, a tractive effort of 64,700 lbs and a weight of 369,000pounds. Initially, all six of these new 4-8-2s were used for fastfreight, but high maintenance cost soon had them working passengerservice. In 1939, the Lehigh Valley rebuilt all six of the Class S-1s. The three25 x 28 cylinders were replaced with two 28 x 32 cylinders which reducedthe tractive effort from 64,700 lbs to 61,811 lbs. The rebuiltlocomotives weighed 370,000 pounds and were designated as Class S-2. The Lehigh Valley retired the Class S-2s in 1948 and scrapped them shortly after.(steamlocomotive.com) From a smoke-free and pet-free home. Ships to the continental U.S. only.
