The once proud and powerful face of Frisco 4-8-2 #1526 roamed the Great Plains hauling passengers, mail and freight. It's headlight pierced the night and its bell rang a warning sound when approaching a station along the way. |

SLSF 4-8-2 #1526 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco) |
| Description: |
The massive main rod and 69" drivers propelled the steam locomotive down hundreds of miles of track. The loco was rebuilt sometime after 1930 with an increase in the wheel diameter to 69 1/2", boiler pressure to 210 psi and the addition of a booster. The improvements resulted in an increased tractive effort from 54,100 lb to 56,200 lb. |

SLSF 4-8-2 #1526 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco) |
| Description: |
I had one small part in helping to tell the story of Frisco #1526 when I was contacted by Taylor Larson (right), one of the curators at the Museum of the Great Plains, for permission to post a photo of 1526 after a derailment. The placard below the photo denotes that the photo was originally taken by C.C. Grayson and is now part of my collection. I feel very honored to help tell a small piece of the locomotive's story. |

Beautiful "postcard-like" view of the Frisco 4-8-2 #1526 standing by the Elgin Depot at the Museum of the Great Plains. Thanks to many hard working museum staff members through the years, this is a remarkable tribute to the history of railroading in the Great Plains! |
