The Kansas City Southern bought ten class J 2-10-4 or Texas type locomotives from Lima Locomotive Works in 1937. Five (Nos. 900-904) were oil burners, while five (Nos. 905-909) burned coal. No. 906, seen in this photo from J. R. Reid, weighed 514,000 pounds and developed 93,000 pounds of tractive effort. These engines had a grate area of 107 square feet, 5154 square feet of evaporative heating surface, and 2075 square feet of superheater surface, rendering them fine examples of Lima's "super-power" emphasis. With 27x34-inch cylinders and disc drivers of 70 inches, they boasted a boiler pressure of 310 pounds per square inch — the highest of any non-experimental steam engine in the United States of which I am aware. All these fine locomotives were retired in the early 1950s.
