MKT 4-6-2 #380 - Missouri-Kansas-Texas         
Fairly nice older b&w photo (possibly a reprint) by an unknown photographer of Missouri-Kansas-Texas 4-6-2 Pacific #380 built by Alco-Schenectady in 1915. Specs - H-3a class, 73" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 25x28" cylinders, engine weight of 272,000 lb, tractive effort of 40,753 lb. I could not find the serial number for this loco. No date was given but with Mike Woodruff's help (see comment below), it would appear to be 1920 or earlier.

Mike Woodruff General Very cool photo, Gary. I think the date may be off by at least ten years; Katy began altering the appearance of the H3 class Pacifics in the early 1920s by relocating the headlight to the center of the smokebox and applying a sheet metal pilot, as can be seen in this Otto Perry photo of M-K-T 379 from June, 1924: https://digital.denverlibrary.org/digital/collection/p15330coll22/id/53734/rec/11 10/21/2020 5:41:44 PM
