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.
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.
Omaha-road predecessor West Wisconsin actually bought this petite Eight-wheeler from a small, but well-regarded Massachusetts builder.
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.
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.
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.
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".
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Small, lightweight Eight-wheelers from a small Massachusetts builder.
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.
Baldwin's supply of Eight-wheelers to the Omaha Road was part of series of orders from this road in that period.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
Freight Eight-wheeler that appears to have been the only locomotive in the class.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
