🚂ABOUT THIS IMAGE
A remarkable piece of early 20th-century railway engineering history, this detailed drawing depicts a powerful 2-8-8-2 Mallet steam locomotive built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) for the Pekin-Kalgan Railway.
The original engineering drawing is dated September 1921 and features the locomotive’s complete side elevation, mechanical cross-sections, dimensions, boiler arrangement, running gear, cab structure, and tender specifications. It was later published in the June 1922 issue of Railway Mechanical Engineer.
Carefully prepared as a high-quality archival reproduction, the intricate drafting lines and mechanical details create a striking piece of industrial wall art that works beautifully in an office, study, workshop, railway room, library, or vintage-inspired interior.
A distinctive railway engineering print for train lovers, railroad historians, steam locomotive enthusiasts, engineers, collectors, and anyone fascinated by historic industrial design.
