    One of 20 “Russian Decapods” sold by Baldwin Locomotive Works to the Frisco. Originally, 1,200 were destined for Imperial Russia (the order was placed in 1915), but the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 resulted in the cancellation of the balance of the order after a number of the locomotives already had been built.
    Frisco No. 1621 is preserved at the National Museum of Transportation, near St. Louis. I have a photo, taken last summer.

    The Frisco rostered 21 Bolsheviks, and not 20. The Frisco Bolshiviks had a mixed lineage.
