Built by the Rhode Island Locomotive Works, this 2-6-0 mogul-type freight locomotive remained in service for two years after the Wabash had become dieselized because a bridge could not support the weight of diesel-electric locomotives. Number 573 weighs 215,825 pounds in working order, has 64-inch drive wheels, and 19 x 28-inch cylinders. It was one of the smallest engines operated by the Wabash and was donated in 1955 by the Wabash Railroad.
