Chicago Southern / Montana RR 2-6-0 "Mogul" Type Locomotives

Class 102 / M1 (Locobase 9887)

Data from Milwaukee Road 1930 Locomotive Diagram book supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Works numbers were 25643 in May 1905, 26534 in October.

The two small Moguls Baldwin built for the MRR had different tube counts: the 193 in the specifications refers to 2950; the other locomotive - 2951 -had 211 tubes.

Apparently too small to keep even for branch-line service, 2950 was scrapped in October 1925, 2951 in December 1927.

Class M1d (Locobase 11465)

Data from "Locomotive Building," The Railroad Gazette, Vol XXXVIII, No 17 (28 April 1905), p 149.

See Locobase 11466 for information about this rail line. Locobase 8131 shows some Louisville & Nashville F-8 moguls delivered by Rogers in 1906 that appear to have been very close in size to the CS engines, but were credited with much higher weights. The F-8s

deployed 1,583 sq ft of heating surface (including the firebox area), which suggests a figure of perhaps 1,600 sq ft for these engines.

As delivered, the CS locomotives included equipment from the following suppliers:

Westinghouse air-brakes

Midvale steel axles

Cook automatic bell ringers

Keasby & Mattison sectional magnesia boiler lagging

Simplex bolsters and brake-beams

American Brake-Shoe & Foundry Co.'s brake-shoes

Washburn pilot and Tower tender couplers

Elvlns driving box lubricators

U. S. headlights

Nathan injectors

Magnus metal journal bearings

Symington journal boxes

U. S. piston and valve rod packings

Ashton safety valves

Leach sanding devices

Nathan bull's-eye- sight-feed lubricators

Pittsburg Spring & Steel Co.'s springs

Crosby steam gages

Midvale driving and truck wheel tires.
