Rebuild of Locomotive #19
|
Steam Locomotive #19 gets some attention this year to its
Stephenson valve gear assembly. This page is the first in a series on the
entire project.
Over the last two weeks the boiler was removed from the frame, and the frame taken out for cleaning. The initial work is highlighted in the photos below. |

The boiler was moved to a work flat car and will be stored until the valve
repairs are completed. The locomotive frame sits to the left of the boiler. photo credit David G. Peterson |

This is a view of the throttle of #19. The throttle slide
valve and boiler were
constucted by Norman Sandley, of the Sandley Locomotive Works, Wisconsin
Dells, WI in 1976 for the Chippewa Valley Railway. The throttle
is shown in the OPEN position. photo credit David G. Peterson |

Here is the same throttle valve in the CLOSED position.
