The Illinois Central's 900-series Consolidations were products of Baldwin Locomotive Works; No. 902 was erected in 1911 as No. 966 and was renumbered during a 1943 rebuilding, during which the group received stokers. As rebuilt No. 902 had 22½x30-inch cylinders, 62-inch drivers and 235 p.s.i. of boiler pressure; she produced 48,930 pounds of tractive effort and weighed 244,000 pounds. When my family moved to Bloomington, Illinois, in 1954 these 2-8-0s were the regular power on the line between Bloomington and Kankakee, and I photographed No. 902 in September of that year. This engine was filmed in Kankakee by John Szwajkart, and is seen in the Mark I video The Midland and Two Centrals; she also appears briefly in the Herron Rail video-DVD Illinois Central Steam Finale. She met the torch in 1955.
