The Frisco 1522 was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Company in 1925 and has a wheel arrangement of 4-8-2 otherwise known as the 'mountain type' wheel configuration. The Frisco purchased several sets of mountain type locomotives for passenger service; the first set consisted of locomotives 1500-1514 purchased in 1923. Five more added in 1925 numbered 1515-1529. Ten more were purchased in 1926 numbered 1520-1529 of which the Frisco 1522 belonged to. The Frisco1522 has a maximum tractive effort of 56,800 lbs with an additional 8,750 lbs from the booster engine for a total of 65,550lbs.
The 1522 was originally a coal burning locomotive, but was remodeled to burn oil shortly after being purchased. The 1522 served the Frisco Railway until the 1950's when it was retired. Upon retirement, it was donated to the Museum of Transportation in St Louis for display. In 1988 the members of the St Louis Steam Train Association finished a 3-year restoration project of the Frisco 1522 and it was returned to service as an excursion locomotive. The Frisco was forced in to retirement by high insurance costs in 2002 and remains at the Museum of Transportation in St Louis.
