Class 99 (Locobase 11113)

Data from Schenectady Locomotive Works, Illustrated Catalogue of Simple and Compound Locomotives (Philadelphia: J B Lippincott, 1897), pp. 32-33.

Class A (Locobase 3151)

Data from the C&NW 1 - 1908 and 1 - 1927 Locomotive Diagrams books supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection is the source for specifications. This shows that most were delivered in 1895 with others arriving in 1898, 1899, and 1900.

McShane (1899) data for total heating surface varies slightly from Railway Age 11 Oct 1895. The latter noted that these engines were serving the Chicago-Council Bluffs run and pulling up to 11 cars per train. Sometime after delivery the railroad reduced the boiler's tube count to the figure given in the specs and added 13.3 sq ft of arch tubes to the firebox heating surface.

Class A-2 (Locobase 6798)

Data from the C&NW 1 - 1905 and 3 -1908 Locomotive Diagrams books supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection is the source for specifications.

The North Western's shops built this batch of Eight-wheelers. They seem to have formed part of a larger group that included A-3s with a slightly larger boiler. See Locobase 6799.

Class A-2 (Locobase 9293)

Data from CStPM&O 4 - 1900 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Omaha-road predecessor West Wisconsin actually bought this petite Eight-wheeler from a small, but well-regarded Massachusetts builder.

Class A-3 (Locobase 6799)

Data from the C&NW 1 - 1905 and 3 -1908 Locomotive Diagrams books supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection is the source for specifications.

Most of this class was produced by Schenectady with a few coming from the North Western's own shops. The Schenectady engines arrived mostly in 1883 with a few more coming in 1884. The design had the same cylinder volume and boiler pressure as the A-2s, but slightly more heating surface and taller drivers.

Class A-5 (Locobase 7553)

Data from the C&NW 1 - 1905 Locomotive Diagrams books supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection is the source for specifications.

The diagram book's table of engines shows that the locomotives in this class were originally delivered in 1881-1882 as class A-1, but rebuilt in 1898-1904.

Class B-1 (Locobase 6801)

Data from the C&NW 1 - 1905 and 3 -1908 Locomotive Diagrams books supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection is the source for specifications.

The North Western's shops built this batch of Eight-wheelers. As with many railroads, class IDs often follow no real chronological orders. These locomotives were considerably earlier than the Class B shown in the 1908 book and even earlier than the A-2s.

Class C (Locobase 454)

Data from the C&NW 1 - 1905 Locomotive Diagrams books supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection

Four of this class were produced in a batch in April 1899 as works #5066-5069. When delivered their boilers contained 320 fire tubes that contributed to a total evaporative heating surface of 2,353 sq ft. Sometime later, the railroad removed 19 of the tubes. Also later came the 13.9 sq ft of arch tubes as additions to the firebox heating surface as welll as a reduction in driver diameter from 80".

Class C-1 (Locobase 6802)

Data from the C&NW 1 - 1905 Locomotive Diagrams books supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection

Class C-2 (Locobase 6803)

Data from the C&NW 1 - 1905 Locomotive Diagrams books supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection

Schenectady completed these 12 in April & May 1885. Notice the very deep and narrow firebox, which resulted in a small grate that likely didn't adequately heat all of that firebox area.

Class C-3 (Locobase 6804)

Data from the C&NW 1 - 1905 Locomotive Diagrams books supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection

Schenectady went into volume production with this design after delivering the 12 C-2s. The principal differences were an 2" increase in the stroke and the addition of 15 boiler tubes. The very deep and narrow firebox, which seems restrictive, was not changed.

Class C-5 (Locobase 6805)

Data from the C&NW 1 - 1905 Locomotive Diagrams books supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection

More of the same in the C-2/C-3 (Locobase 6803-6804) vein from Schenectady: Same small grate, still more boiler tubes All were produced in April-May 1888 except 887-888.

Class C-5 - 1916 rebuild (Locobase 8381)

Data from the C&NW 1 - 1927 Locomotive Diagrams books supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection

Beginning in May 1916, the C & NW began rebuilding their large class of 1880s-era Eight-wheelers with a smaller boiler. Obviously, the modest tractive effort level was more thatn outweighed by the light axle loading and general usefulness of this mixed-traffic engine. The program continued for 7 years with the last locomotive emerging from the shops in November 1923. The profile showed the tapered stack, a rounded-thimble sandbox just behind, a taller steam dome on the second course of boiler and ahead of the first drivine axle.

Class C-6 (Locobase 6806)

Data from the C&NW 1 - 1905 Locomotive Diagrams books supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection

When the C-6s were delivered by Schenectady in 1893, they had the same narrow fireboxes as earlier North Western Eight-wheelers (see, e.g., Locobase 6803-6805). Only a few years later, the railway itself rebuilt the locomotives by enlarging the boilers, expanding the grate area by increasing both width and length and raising it above the axles, and fitting piston valves. The first locomotive, 309, appeared in July 1899. 191 followed in December. Three -- 251, 253, 250 -- were rebuilt in April, August, and December 1900 respectively. 190 (August) and 421 (October) were the 1901 pair while 427 (April) and 99 (October) came in 1902 and 252 finished the program in February 1903.

The 1927 diagram showed a reduction of 23 tubes in the boiler and the addition of 11.8 sq ft of arch tubes to the firebox heating surface; altogether, total evaporative heating surface shrank to 1,665 sq ft.

Class C-7 (Locobase 9303)

Data from CStPM&O 4 - 1900 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Small, lightweight Eight-wheelers from a small Massachusetts builder.

Class C-9 (Locobase 9305)

Data from CStPM&O 4 - 1900 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Two years after Taunton supplied the Omaha Road with some mixed-traffic 4-4-0s (Locobase 9303), the small Massachusetts builder added this pair of freighters with slightly larger fireboxes and a little more boiler area.

Class D-1 (Locobase 9306)

Data from CStPM&O 4 - 1900 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Works numbers were 4899, 4905 in December 1879; 4941 in January 1880; 5294, 5296, 5303, 5305 in October 1880; and 5338 in November 1880.

Baldwin's supply of Eight-wheelers to the Omaha Road was part of series of orders from this road in that period.

Class D-10 (Locobase 9319)

Data from CStPM&O 4 - 1900 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

The only difference between this pair of engines and the 123 shown in Locobase 9318 is the driver diameter, which was smaller by 5" than the lower-numbered locomotive. Otherwise, they were identical, right down to the curiously heavy tenders.

Class D-3 (Locobase 7554)

Data from the C&NW 1 - 1905 Locomotive Diagrams books supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Works numbers were 5551, 5553 in March 1881; 5582, 5584-5585, 5587-5588, 5590-5602 in April; 5773-5778, 5780-5781 in August, and 5802, 5807 in September.

More than 20 years after their introduction, the Baldwins had apparently remained unaltered. Five -- 415, 421, 428, 429, 443 -- had been sold to the Winona & St Peter in the 1890s as that railway's 31, 11, 14, 21, and 52. The W & St P, a subsidiary of the Chicago & Northwestern returned the locomotives in 1900, at which point these locomotives were reunited with the rest of the class.

As the C & NW was scrapping the class in the first decade of the 20th Century, the 426 went to the Wyoming & Missouri River in July 1905 while the 425 was sold to the Hillsboro & Northeastern in July 1907 as their #3.

Class D-3 (Locobase 9307)

Data from CStPM&O 4 - 1900 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Works numbers were 4691-4692 in June 1879; 4714 in July; 4742-4743 in August; 4805, 4807 in October; 5340, 5363, 5366 in November 1880.

Baldwin's production of Eight-wheelers for the Omaha Road during this period (1879-1880) tended to be classed in ones and twos. This D-3 class, however, was a relatively homogenous decade of engines supplied in drips and drabs. Five -- 37 , 39, 41-43 -- had "weighted decks" to increase adhesion by 400 lb.

Class D-4 (Locobase 9308)

Data from CStPM&O 4 - 1900 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Works numbers were 4508-4509 in December 1878 for the first two.

Baldwin's production of Eight-wheelers for the Omaha Road during this period (1878-1880) tended to be classed in ones and twos, but all of the D series from this time had the same boiler and grate and very slight differences in firebox heating surface. Differences between classes related primarily to driver diameter.

Class D-5 (Locobase 9309)

Data from CStPM&O 4 - 1900 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Works #5833-5834, 5836, 5839, 5867-5868, 5873, 5875, 5876, 5881 in Ocotober 1881.

In the series of D-class locomotives supplied to the Omaha Road in 1877-1881, the D-5s stand out as unusual. Although they had virtually the same dimensions and weights as all of the others, they were missing a boiler tube. All of the others had 153 tubes, the D-5s, for some obscure reason probably having to do with aesthetics, made do with 152. Otherwise - peas in a pod.

Class D-6 (Locobase 9310)

Data from CStPM&O 4 - 1900 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Works numbers were 6512, 6514-6515, 6520, 6530, 6536 in December 1882; 6569, 6573, 6585-6588 in January 1883; and 6621, 6625 in February; and 6654, 6656 in March.

As the Omaha Road added to its roster of Eight-wheelers, it bought this batch of engines that were at least middle-sized for the time.

Class D-7 (Locobase 9317)

Data from CStPM&O 4 - 1900 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

This locomotive had its own class in the 1900 diagram book, presumably because it retained the 60" drivers of the original class. It also had two fewer tubes than the D-8s delivered in the same year (Locobase 9316) and consequently slightly less heating surface area. But the firebox was identical. It was retired in July 1912, 30 years after its introduction.

Class D-8 (Locobase 9316)

Data from CStPM&O 4 - 1900 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

The first six locomotives (works #998-1003) were named GREEN ISLE 101, ARLINGTON 102, WINTHROP 103, REDWOOD 104, FRANKLIN 105, GREENFIELD 106. The Lambert-Rumary list shows all of these as delivered with 60" drivers, but the 1900 books shows the 63" drivers in the specifications. Most of these were retired in the first decade of the 20th Century with the higher numbers being scrapped in 1913. See Locobase 9317 for the single D-7 from this builder.

Class D-9 (Locobase 9318)

Data from CStPM&O 4 - 1900 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Although similar to many of the Eight-wheelers coming into service on the Omaha Road, this one had taller drivers than most. Produced in January 1883, it accompanied two others of similar dimensions but smaller drivers.

Class E (Locobase 7555)

Data from the C&NW 1 - 1905 Locomotive Diagrams books supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection is the source for specifications.

The F E & MV was a Nebraska road that was acquired by the Chicago & North Western in 1886, although the name of the subsidiary didn't change in 1901.

Class E-10 (Locobase 7556)

Data from the C&NW 1 - 1905 Locomotive Diagrams books supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection is the source for specifications.

The Baldwins shown in Locobase 7555 had the passenger drivers, but these Schenectadies probably accounted for most of the freight traffic on the FE & MV.

Class E-2 (Locobase 9322)

Data from CStPM&O 4 - 1900 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Works numbers included 6375-6376 in September 1882 and 6413, 6420, 6500-6501 in November 1882.

A sextet of passenger engines to flesh out the motive power profile of the Omaha Road. The E class consisted of locomotives with 18" diameter cylinders.

75 was retired first in August 1914 and 70 followed in December 1915. It was 11 years before the next withdrawal, but 1926 saw disposal of the rest: 71 (May), 73 (June), 74 (August), and 72 (December).

Class E-3 (Locobase 7558)

Data from the C&NW 1 - 1905 Locomotive Diagrams books supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection is the source for specifications.

The Ashland Route was part of the Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western Railway, which operated independently in northeast Wisconsin from 1872 to 1893. The Chicago & North Western acquired the M LS & W in September 1893.

Class E-3 (Locobase 9323)

Data from CStPM&O 4 - 1900 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Works number was 6737.

Freight Eight-wheeler that appears to have been the only locomotive in the class.

Class E-4 (Locobase 9324)

Data from CStPM&O 4 - 1900 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Adding to the 6 Baldwin 18" passenger engines (Locobase 9322), this sextet came from a rival builder 3 years later. They had the same power dimensions, but a slightly larger grate and substantially increased heating surface areas. Thus, they may be thought to have had more steam stamina under similar conditions.

Class E-5 (Locobase 9325)

Data from CStPM&O 4 - 1900 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

As the Omaha Road settled on the 18" diameter cylinder, its locomotive purchases increased in number per class. This decade of mixed-traffic engines were produced in December 1882 and January 1883 (1 locomotive).

Class E-6 (Locobase 9326)

Data from CStPM&O 4 - 1900 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Works number was 6737.

This class has to be seen as one of the standard classes for the Omaha Road in the mid-1880s. The number of engines, the size of the drivers, the capacity of the boiler and grate all mark the design as a mixed-traffic locomotive that operated all over the series.

Class E-7 (Locobase 7560)

Data from the C&NW 1 - 1905 Locomotive Diagrams books supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection is the source for specifications.

Class E-7 (Locobase 9327)

Data from CStPM&O 4 - 1900 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

As the decade wore on, the Omaha Road's Eight-wheelers grew in size and capacity. At the same time, they were still constrained by a firebox that was deeply set between the driving axles and consequently limiting the grate area. Delivered in July 1888, these were immediately followed by a larger class of very similar locomotives; see Locobase 9328.

Class E-8 (Locobase 9328)

Data from CStPM&O 4 - 1900 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Who knows why these differences arise? When this Hudson-River builder continued its building program for the Omaha Road in July 1888, it produced a set of engines that were lacking just one tube, had drivers measuring 1" less, and had boilers pressed to 5 psi less than the E-7s that immediately preceded them. (Locobase 9327). Schenectady produced the first 7 in July 1888, 4 more in August, and the last 3 in September.

Class F-1 (Locobase 7557)

Data from the C&NW 1 - 1905 Locomotive Diagrams books supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection is the source for specifications.

Class F-8 (Locobase 9336)

Data from CStPM&O 4 - 1900 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Passenger power on the Omaha Road in the late 1890s included this class of Eight-wheelers supplied in April 1896 (275-277), June 1898 (278), December 1898 (255-260), and January 1900.

They were somewhat more modestly scaled than their B-class (Locobase 6800) and C-class (Locobase 454) Eight-wheeler contemporaries on the parent Chicago & North Western, but still represented adequate mainline power.
