"Big 74" waits for direction from the foreman for its next assignment.  The big shifter arrived in 1925 as the heaviest 2-cylinder 0-8-0 every built.  Unfortunately, the C1 is not well liked by the crews due to its harsh ride, nor by management due to its higher maintenance costs.  But it sure can pull a long string of cars.  It was retired in 1950.
