Union Pacific 2-10-2 "Santa Fe" Type Locomotives

Class TTT-1/2 (Locobase 87)

Data from table in 1930 Locomotive Cyclopedia.

These were the first of 174 TTT (Two-Ten-Two) that had similar cylinder and driver dimensions. 90 went to the parent road (Baldwin 43, Lima 37, Brooks 10), 19 (Baldwin 11, Brooks 8) to Oregon Short Line (OSL), 15 to Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation (OWR&N), and 55 (all Baldwin) to the Los Angeles & Salt Lake City (LA&SL).

This first group had 32 sq ft of arch tubes contributing to the firebox heating surface. About half were fitted with Elesco feedwater heaters. The other half had Coffin type which added about 700 lb to the adhesion weight.

Retirements began in 1948 and took most of a decade to complete.

Class TTT-4 (Locobase 6590)

Data from UP 1938 to 1958 Locomotive and Tender Diagrams- Part II (Greater than 70 FT) supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Works numbers were 53403-53404, 53435-53436, 53465-53466 in July 1920; 53506-53507, 53527-53528, 53558-53559, 53616 in August; 53617, 53647-53648, 53675-53677, 53705-53706, 53746 in September; 53844, 53909 in October; 53943 in November.

Delivered after the first World War, these were duplicates of the first batch (Locobase 87).

Class TTT-6 (Locobase 6591)

Data from 1938 to 1958 Union Pacific Locomotive and Tender Diagrams- Part II (Greater than 70 FT) supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Continuing in the same design as the earlier TTTs, this larger group was supplied by three builders. Alco-Brooks (10) 5040-5049, Baldwin (3) 5050-5052 (works numbers were 56714-56716 in July 1923), and Lima (32) 5053-5084. One set of 5 additional locomotives were fitted with Nicholson thermic syphons; see Locobase 6592.

Class TTT-6 (Locobase 6592)

Data from 1938 to 1958 Union Pacific Locomotive and Tender Diagrams- Part II (Greater than 70 FT) supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

This interesting quintet shared every characteristic with the previous 84 locomotives in the TTT wheel arrangement save one: the firebox was completely changed. Grate area stayed the same, but in place of 32 sq ft of arch tubes, the new firebox had 118 sq ft of Nicholson thermic syphons. The change increased the direct heating surface by 20%.By the numbers, at least, these were considerably more powerful locomotives.
