A&Y #304

This consolidation was originally numbered 291. It was a Southern Railway H-1 class and the number was changed to 304 by the Southern renumbering. It kept the number 304 under the A&Y according to R.E. Prince, but this is the only reference I have so far of the 304 on the A&Y. Southern retired the locomotive in February of 1939. Apparently, the working life of 304 is not clear.

 This locomotive had the following characteristics: 

Construction year 1900
Construction number c/n 3034
Constructed by Alco Locomotive Works (Richmond, VA)
Southern Class H-1
Cylinder size (inches) 21"x28"
Steam pressure (pounds per square inch) 200 lbs
Driver size (diameter) 60"
Weight (in pounds) 156,940 lbs
Tractive effort (in pounds) 34,986 lbs
