Harriman Lines 4-6-2 "Pacific" Type Locomotives

Class Light Pacific P-141 (Locobase 5341)

See Locobase 5340 for the introduction to the Harriman Common Standard. The HCS Pacifics were relatively light engines and like the Atlantic, relatively small boilered.

Many were eventually superheated and fitted with Walschaerts outside valve gear.

See Locobase 5313 (Chicago & Alton), 4407 (Southern Pacific), and 4408 (Union Pacific) for examples of the HCS Pacific design.
