Built for the Northern Pacific as passenger engines, they soon became too light for their duties and were
replaced by 4-6-2 types. Many were built as cross compounds, although most were "simpled" eventually.

214, a class P-1, cross compound locomotive, was involved in a wreck between
Centralia and Chehalis Washington around 1910. She was built by Schenectady in
1900 and retired on 1/1/29. . The very large, low pressure cylinder can be seen
clearly in this photo. They had a flat side cover, for clearance reasons!

NP Class P-1 #227 and P #252 in out of service, awaiting scrapping, circa 1940.
No. 227 was built by Alco in 1902 and scrapped on 9/23/40, 252 was a
Schenectady 1898 product, and lasted a bit longer, 5/3/41. Both probably ended
up as tanks or battleships in WWII. Photo by Al Discoe.

Northern Pacific ten wheeler No. 338, a class E-3 at the head of a passenger train
at Moclips Washington around 1920. Al Discoe is holding his "grip" and a suitcase.
He'll be firing her soon for the trip along the ocean to Pacific Beach and on to
Hoquiam. She was a Baldwin product, dating from 1889, and was removed from
the roster on 1/1/27. A friend of Al Discoe's photo.
