Bingham & Garfield 2-8-0 "Consolidation" Type Locomotives

Class 200 (Locobase 6943)

Data from B&G - UCCO Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection and from the Utah Rails site http://utahrails.net/bingham/kcc-steam.php and http://utahrails.net/bingham/bingham-1900-1914.php, accessed 1 July 2005. The firebox heating surface includes 5 arch tubes of 60 sq ft. This diagram does not record the superheater area, alas, so Locobase has estimated the area based on other locomotives with the identical number of same-diameter flues of approximately the same length.

This single Consolidation must have looked lonely among the switchers and giant, all-adhesion Mallets that made up the stud of this copper-mining road in Utah.
