Lehigh & Hudson River 2-8-0 "Consolidation" Type Locomotives

Class 90 (Locobase 416)

Drury (1993) comments that these were very large 2-8-0s with tractive effort nearly as great as the USRA's heavy Santa Fes. Fitted with the big Wootten firebox under a conventional cab, these Consolidations saw steam out on the L & HR and retired in 1950.
