The only Mogul on the West Point Route was this one, used for freight transfer and switching in the Atlanta area.
This sextet of Moguls ran for decades unchanged - saturated boiler, medium-sized drivers, slide valves. The driving axles were widely spaced with the firebox and the boiler riding above them. Note that the 1954 book still showed two of the six on the roster.
