The ES&NA RR Steam Locomotive #226, Locomotive #226, still in reconditioned, was also built in 1927 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is a 2-8-2 (Mikado) wheel arrangement. The engine weighs 130,000 pounds, with a loaded tender it approaches 200,000 pounds. It was originally a coal burner, but later was converted to use oil as its fuel. It operates at 180 p.s.i. and is super-heated. Locomotive #226 has the relative modern Walschaert valve gear arrangement, and it also has piston valves. Locomotive #226 has always been a "display" engine at the E.S. & N.A. R.R., never restored to operating condition.
