After a rebuld, the 70" drivers were replaced with 74" ones which aided in high speed passenger service when needed. The loco was eventually retired and sold for scrap in July of 1952. Original specs - 69" drivers, impressive 250 psi boiler pressure, 26x32" cylinders, engine weight of 434,000 lb and tractive effort of 66,620 lb.
