My great, great uncle Robert F. McKee, Sr., was a design engineer at Baldwin and he would give my father different Baldwin Locomotive Works builder's cards when my father would visit him in Collingswood, New Jersey. This 4-8-2 Mountain, number 909, was built for the Texas & Pacific Railroad. According to the specifications listed on the back of the builder's card this engine had a total weight of 654,300 lbs, and a tractive force of 54,700 lbs. This Baldwin Locomotive Works builders photo card is from the John R. Doughty collection.
