Erie Railroad Engine 3090
N-1 Class 2-8-2

This June 1945 photo shows Erie Railroad number 3090, an N-1 class 2-8-2 locomotive built by Baldwin in 1913 near Jamestown, NY. These Mikados were the backbone of the Erie's fleet during World War II hauling freight over the mountains. They had large fireboxes, enabling them to burn lower-grade coal effectively.
