In case anyone's interested, 116 & 124 are heavy Consolidations, 181 & 203 are postwar Baldwin Mikes with front-end throttles
and 154 is one of 3 Porter built Mikes, also with a front-end throttle.

The trio of Porters were the heaviest Mikes (by a slim margin) on the system and were favored for the climb out of here
to Palin, some 16 miles of 3.6% that stiffened to 3.7% at Medio Monte.
