Steam locomotives destined for scrapping normally had their valve gear disconnected from the eccentric crank, allowing them to be towed with less cylinder resistance. 0-8-0 switcher No. 7718, however, was still intact when I photographed her in the dead line at the Detroit engine terminal in March 1954. She belonged to class U3c, delivered in 1922 by American Locomotive Company and Lima Locomotive Works. No. 7718's diamond-shaped builder's plate identifies her as a Lima product. Her specifications were identical to those of No. 7640, shown previously.
