Algoma Eastern 2-6-0 "Mogul" Type Locomotives

Class M-1 (Locobase 4937)

Data from http://www.magma.ca/~morcomp/roster.html, which credits Dale Wilson's book Algoma Eastern Railway (Nickel Plate Rails, 1977). The table notes that it was builder's # 41902 and was scrapped in 1927. This seems a short time to run a new locomotive, which suggests that it might have damaged. (Heating surface data from Dr. Jonathan Smith's http://www.math.iastate.edu/jdhsmith/term/slcaaer.htm -- 1 Feb 2004).

Class M-2 (Locobase 4506)

Data from 1947 CP Locomotive Diagram book supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Further information from http://www.magma.ca/~morcomp/roster.html, which credits Dale Wilson's book Algoma Eastern Railway (Nickel Plate Rails, 1977).

Soon after the Manitoulin & North Shore, which ran down from the CP mainline to the shores of Lake Huron and Manitoulin Island, became the Algoma Central in 1911, the new name bought this Mogul, builder's number 51183. In 1930, the Canadian Pacific leased the AER rails for 999 years and renumbered 51 as 3051. It carried on until 1952.
