Denver, South Park & Pacific 2-6-0 "Mogul" Type Locomotives

Class 156 (Locobase 7682)

Data from C & S 9-1941 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

This decade of Moguls were Brooks works #713-714 in May 1882, 727-728 in June, 742-743 in July , 755-756 in August, and 782-783 in September.

The D, SP & P was chartered in 1873 and ran a narrow-gauge line to Leadville and Gunnison by 1888. After foreclosure, 12 of the narrow-gauge lines in Colorado were reorganized as the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf in 1890. When the Colorado & Southern was created in 1898 to take over the UP, D & G assets, it renumbered 6 of the ten as 17-22

John Crandall's roster on http://home.att.net/~nginfo/roster.htm records that 21 was scrapped in August 1923 while 22 went to the ferro-knacker in March 1927.
