Atlanta & West Point 290

Steam locomotives can accomplish a lot during their careers; in revenue service and in preservation. Although Atlanta and West Point 4-6-2 no. 290 lived most of its career out of the spotlight, the heavy Pacific has gained a modest following for its close ties to more well known names like Norfolk Southern, and how it fit in with its surroundings past and present.

I was a member of the Atlanta chapter of the NRHS and worked regularly on the New Georgia trips. I also worked at the SERM and nearby was the facility that was rebuilding the 290. I had the opportunity to climb down the steam dome opening and enter the boiler. All tubes were removed at the time. The mid to late 80s was a good time for rail fans in the Atlanta area. 611 and 1218 were active in the NS steam program. 750 and diesel 6901 were running on the New Georgia. And 290 was entering the excursion service. This was a fun reminder of those days. Thank you for the video.

This is a great video you have done of the 290 I knew of her and 190s history in revenue service but I did not know much of her excursions and career before she was taken out of service i would so love to see her operate again but who knows if that will happen again but we never know. I fell in love with this pacific when I saw her in the movie Fried Green Tomatoes she truly is a beautiful locomotive. I am very happy I commissioned K&L trainz to do her and the help of all the others to make it possible and bring her to the trainz world. I would so love to see her in the San Juan Branchline series.

Over in Cadiz California, a company is looking to start running excursions to Parker Arizona and back on the CA&AZ railroad mainline which would allow for high speeds with heavy trains. This could be an ideal locomotive for the job if it was maybe converted to burn oil.

Hopefully, 1 day at least the engine will be put on display with the rest of the museum collection to be seen by the public since the likes of her steaming again are very slim, nonetheless hopefully 1 day this sometimes forgotten pacific will be on display to be seen by many people and tourists to come. But who knows when it'll happen.

realistically i think 290 could run at 225, with a new boiler, 300. engine is basically a copy of the Ps-4

@blackbirdgaming8147 2 жыл бұрын

Boiler pressure can’t just be increased because you want to. Usually you want your weight on drivers to be at least 4 times the calculated tractive effort. Less than 4 is where locomotives become slippery and nearly impossible to handle. 3 cylinder locomotives are an exception to this rule to a degree, since power delivery is a bit smoother compared to 2 cylinder and 4 cylinder articulateds. So let’s entertain your crazy idea. 290’s boiler pressure is 200 psi, which gives a calculated tractive effort of 46,892 lbs. Factor of adhesion is 4.11, a perfectly acceptable figure. Now let’s raise boiler pressure to 225 psi. Tractive effort jumps to 52,754 lbs, and factor of adhesion drops to about 3.65. Pretty slippery. 300 psi gives 70,339 lbs of tractive effort, and an impossible to control factor of adhesion of 2.74. That’s how you ruin a locomotive, best to just leave the damn thing alone.

@@CoalChrome Did you read any of what I said above? You *cannot* raise boiler pressure just because you feel like it. Doesn’t matter if it’s a new boiler, 300 psi would destroy 290, and if it didn’t, the locomotive would be unusable due to an unacceptable factor of adhesion.
