Class D-0 (Locobase 8133)

Data from L&N 8 1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Located in the coal fields of Kentucky, this little road was begun in 1916 to link Loyall, Ky with the L & N's main line at Corbin; the L & N acquired all of the C & M's capital stock and leased the road beginning 1 January 1927.

Locobase believes he has solved the mystery of the original owner of this 4-4-0 and the three described in Locobase 9777. The Louisville & Nashville bought 15 engines of identical size from Baldwin in 1871; these are shown in Locobase 9778.

The Eight-wheeler that eventually came into the Louisville & Nashville was quite small and light for 1916 and clearly intended for branch-line service. It seems certain that the L & N supplied the C & M locomotives.

And so the little 4-4-0 did serve until its retirement in 1947.

Class D-0 (Locobase 8142)

Data from L&N 8 1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

According to a compilation of Pittsburgh locomotives by B.Rumary (25 Kingscombe, Gurney Slade, Radstock, BA3 4TH, ENGLAND) and supplied to Locobase by Allen Stanley in March 2004, works numbers for 107 was 772 and it was delivered in February 1887.

When it was delivered, the 33 ranked in the top third in the size of boiler, but its relatively large firebox and grate areas exceeded an even higher percentage of Eight-wheelers put into service in the mid-1880s.

Data from L&N 8 1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

The firebox heating surface includes 14 sq ft of arch tubes. For some reason, the 105 & 114 weighed about 2 tons less, but was otherwise identical. The 140 had 63" drivers and a tractive effort of 16,800 lb.

Class D-0/D-12 (Locobase 9774)

Data from L&N 8 1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

The firebox heating surface includes 14 sq ft of arch tubes.

Class D-14 (Locobase 9784)

Data from L&N 8 1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Baldwin works numbers included 6152, 6158 in April 1882; 6378-6379 in September; and 6558, 6560 in January 1883.

The Kentucky Central was taken into the Louisville & Nashville by 1891, at which point this class was renumbered 433-438. Six years later the class was again renumbered 38-43. The class was scrapped over a 15-year period from 1916 to 1931.

Class D-15 (Locobase 9785)

Data from L&N 8 1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Works numbers were 9597-9598 in November 1888 and 13096 in December 1892.

The firebox heating surface includes 14 sq ft of arch tubes. 138-139 put 1,200 lb more weight on the the drivers, which contributed to a 1,600-lb increase in overall engine weight. These were delivered to the M & NG, which converted to standard gauge at that time and established a through route from Atlanta to Knoxville. Alas, the M & NG entered receivership in 1891 and only re-emerged in 1896 as the Atlanta, Knoxville & Northern. In 1902, the Louisville & Nashville took over the AK & N and renumbered this trio 137-139.

Class D5 (Locobase 9777)

Data from L&N 8 1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

The Cumberland & Manchester was built in Kentucky by local interests and reached from Barbourville 23 miles north to Manchester when it opened in 1917. It later became a branch of the Louisville & Nashville. Locobase believes that these locomotives were supplied at the startup by the L & N from the 15-locomotive class described in Locobase 9778.
