Evansville & Terre Haute / Chicago & Eastern Illinois 2-6-0 "Mogul" Type Locomotives

Class 30 (Locobase 7119)

Data from the C&EI 6 - 1904 Locomotive Diagram book supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Hinkley's contribution to the C & EI's Mogul holding came early and in surprising strength. Compared to other 2-6-0s of the time, these had relatively small boilers, but a good supply of direct heating surface.

Class 300 / 46 (Locobase 7154)

Data from C&EI 11 - 1911 Locomotive Diagram book supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

The book lists these engines as 46 & 48 on one page, 47 on the next, 49 on the one after that. But they appear to have been identical. Then-302 and 303 were delivered in 1893.

Class 304 / 70 (Locobase 7124)

Data from the C&EI 6 - 1904 Locomotive Diagram book supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

A year after Hinkley sold its second group of Moguls (Locobase 7123) to the C & EI, Baldwin contributed a sextet built to the same specs. The only difference was slightly shorter boiler tubes, which accounts for the small difference in heating surface area. Otherwise, they were identical.

A photograph in the Willard Library collection -- http://www.willard.lib.in.us/photos/card617.html (accessed 25 Nov 2005) of #72 shows the widespread driving axle layout, long, slender boiler, and a front truck wheel that has an odd spoke design. The spokes curve to the left as they run out from the hub and create the illusion of petals.

Class 305 / 87 (Locobase 7155)

Data from C&EI 11 - 1911 Locomotive Diagram book supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Class 311 / 500 (Locobase 7156)

Data from the C&EI 11 - 1911 Locomotive Diagram book supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Class 313 / 502 (Locobase 7157)

Data from the C&EI 11 - 1911 Locomotive Diagram book supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Class 320 / 509 (Locobase 7159)

Data from the C&EI 11 -1911 Locomotive Diagram book supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Class 322 / 28 (Locobase 7118)

Data from C&EI 6 - 1904 locomotive diagram book supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

The diagram shows a long-boilered Mogul of typical dimensions for the time.

Class 323 / 92 (Locobase 7160)

Data from C&EI 11 - 1911 Locomotive Diagram book supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Among all the small classes of Moguls -- 2-3 locomotives with similar specs -- the C & EI fielded this relatively numerous group. The profile is a little odd -- the firebox is still quite narrow (32 1/2" wide) but it sits over the rear two driving axles rather than between them; even so, the last two driving axles were 9 feet apart as opposed to the 7-foot gap between the first and second. The steam dome was moved forward to sit over the first set of drivers, which elongated the boiler crown and shortened the first course behind the stack.

Class 66 (Locobase 7123)

Data from the C&EI 6 - 1904 Locomotive Diagram book supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Seven years after the first big Hinkley sale to the C & EI (Locobase 7119), the company supplied these Moguls (works #1684-1688). A bit larger than the earlier batch, they followed much of the same lines and presented a long wheelbase for the size of the boiler.

Class F-2 (Locobase 7158)

Data from the C&EI 11 - 1911 Locomotive Diagram book supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

This trio of Moguls started out on the E & TH where they presented a good study in 1890s 2-6-0 design with the added feature of triple-paned cab windows. See the photo in Evansville, IN Willard Library photo collection -- http://www.willard.lib.in.us/photos/card616.html (accessed 25 Nov 2005). In the next decade, the E & TH was taken over by the Chicago & Eastern Illinois and renumbered twice before retirement.
