They had four 20.5 x 32 cylinders, 69"drivers, a boiler pressure of 285 psi, exerted 94,000 lbs of tractiveeffort and weighed 597,000 pounds. In 1943, fifteen more Class J "Challengers" arrived from ALCO and weregiven road numbers 1520 through 1534. these locomotives were similar tothe Class Js received in 1940 except for a small increase in weight. In 1945 and 1946, five more Class Js (road numbers 1535 through 1539)came from ALCO. These last five differed very little from the other"Challengers".
