DENVER & RIO GRAND WESTERN
CLASS P-44 4-6-2 Pacifics

As passenger trains became all steel and longer, the Grande's 4-6-0s had to be double-headed and could not maintain schedules. This necessitated the purchase of faster, more powerful passenger locomotives for the "Atlantic Express" and the "Pacific Express". The need was addressed by the purchase of six Baldwin 4-6-2s in 1914. Numbered 1001-1006 (later renumbered 800-805). The Class P-44 Pacifics came with 67-inch drivers and the same boiler as the K-59 2-8-2s! As mainline passenger power, they were replaced by larger 4-8-2s in 1922, and demoted to secondary mainline operation. All were scrapped in 1949-1953.

Division Point and their premier steam builder Boo-Rim Precision will bring you these neglected "Pacifics" in "Scenic Route" and "Flying Grande" graphics. Get those reservations in!
