Twelve engines that were similar to the A-1s of a year before (Locobase 1156) , but putting significantly more weight on taller drivers. Retired in three batches: 3 sold out in 1917-1918, 2 in 1925, and 3 that had been converted to oil burning in 1926.
Scranton's favorite builder supplied this large Mogul class (as it did most D & H engines of the time) over a relatively short production run that followed the even more numerous B class (Locobase 8378). Builder's batches included 691-693 & 720-723 (1889); 740-752, 755-756, 790-799 (1890) 806-818 (1891)
Two -- 63 and 65 were converted to oil burners in 1912 for operation in the Adirondack Forest on the Chateaugay Branch. They stayed in service until 1925 and 1931, respectively.
This large class of Moguls all came from the Scranton, Pa builder that operated in the heart of D & H territory and supplied many of the road's locomotives. The first two -- works #177-178 -- were delivered in 1876, but most of the rest were produced in 1880-1888. It's likely that the boiler pressure rose to 160 psi, but Locobase cannot confirm.
Locobase 8364 shows the rebuild of some of the locomotives in this class.
This class was one of the first classes of camelbacks (the D & H called them "double-cabs") on the road. Although fitted with the wide Wootten firebox showing the center-boiler cab and eave over the fireman's footplate position, these engines were considerably smaller than those that would come to represent the type.
Dickson delivered the class over two years (plus the first - works#506 -- in 1886). Works #541-544, 586-589 came in 1887; the other 6 came in a batch - 622-627.
This quartet came from the small Paterson, NJ builder in a batch (works #1786-1789). They were of medium size for a D & H Mogul, but were realtively heavy.
Four Moguls arrived from Grant in 1871. They were rebuilt in 1891-1893 by the D & H's Oneonta shops.
http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/dh/dh-stm-s06.gif (August 2002) diagram supplied much of the data.
What is most distinctive about this pair of Rogers Moguls (works #4228, 4234) was their later conversions to double-cab engines in 1904. See Locobase 1159 for the enlarged result.
Amid all of the rebuilt Moguls in the 1901 book lay this quartet of untouched Dickson engines from 1881-1882; their works numbers ran 316-317 and 319-320. Locobase wonders about the missing engine and suspects that the four were delivered right at the turn of the year.
Virtually identical to the R-1 rebuilds shown in Locobase 8363, these Moguls originally came from Danforth, Cooke in 1872. The big difference lay in the much higher weight on the drivers and overall engine weight carried by these K-class engines.
Dickson seems to have supplied more than its usual share of locomotives to the D & H, and the shops at Green Island and Oneonta modified and re-boilered most of them.
This set came to the railroad in 1870-1872 with works numbers as low as 58-59 and none higher than 91. Unlike most of the others, however, they were reconditioned at Carbondale in 1889-1891.
Dickson delivered this pair of small Moguls in 1874; they may have been part of larger class. Oneonta rebuilt two of them (Dickson works #138, 140) in 1891 & 1892; Green Island performed the same operation on two others (139 & 141) in the same two years.
Continuing its program of rebuilding its locomotives, the D & H's Green Island shops overhauled three small Dickson Moguls from 1875 (works #157-158 & 175).
Beginning in 1890, the D & H gradually rebuilt over a dozen Dickson Moguls that had been delivered in 1876-1881 (works numbers ranged from 174 in 1876 to 284 in 1881). Green Island turned out 10 and Oneonta contributed 3. The result was not particularly large or powerful, but presumably the project was worth the effort.
5 D&H rebuilds of "lump-burners" originally obtained from Dickinson in the 1860s (2), 1870s (2), and 1880 (1). In the process, they were converted to the "double-cab" (aka Mother Hubbard or Camelback). One sold out in 1917, the others were scrapped from November 1923 to August 1926.
