Thanks Nate as I'd have been searching for awhile for that date. I think that engine might have been saved. The Frisco had 4 distinct classes of Mikados:
1350 class which were 63" drivered Consolidations rebuilt with a 38" cumbustion chamber and a trailing truck.

4000 class, USRA light Mikado

4100 class, 65 engines that were a heavy Mike

4200 class, 20 engines built right around when the Depression hit. Absolute monsters with
27" by 32" cylinders, 63" or 64" drivers and a very high 235 lb. boiler pressure. Until
the GN O-8 types came along, these wre the biggest 2-8-2's ever constructed I believe.
