F-1 600-604 equipped with Franklin trailing truck booster- 11,100 pounds tractive effort.

   Specifications (70K) for the 2-8-4s. NS had been working with Baldwin on the design of a light 2-8-4, but the bankruptcy court required NS to ask for bids from all of the major builders. As a result, NS printed up a 12-page set of specifications for the proposed locomotives. Not surprisingly, Baldwin submitted the low bid. This is a scan of the first page of that document, courtesy of Jack Wyatt.

Definitions:
    Cylinders- diameter in inches, piston stroke in inches.
    Drivers- diameter in inches.
    T.E.- tractive effort in pounds.
