Louisville & Nashville / Marietta & North Georgia / Louisville, Henderson & St Louis / Lexington & Eastern 4-6-0 "Ten-Wheeler" Type Locomotives

Class G-0 (Locobase 9799)

Data from L&N 8 1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Class G-10 (Locobase 9808)

Data from L&N 8 1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Class G-11 (Locobase 8134)

Data from L&N 8-1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Although it was delivered a full decade after the G8 shown in Locobase 1098, this class had many of the same characteristics. In both, the Belpaire firebox is not readily apparent in illustrations because so much of it is contained within the cab. Other than a 2" increase in piston stroke and the inevitable increase in weight, the two classes were essentially identical. The last of the class was retired in 1940.

Class G-12 (Locobase 8136)

Data from L&N 8-1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Cooke works numbers 2317-2320.

The numbering and class ID puts it right after G-11 (Locobase 8135) yet the design is quite different. The boiler is an extended wagon top with substantially less firebox heating surface area, the driver diameter measures 3" less, it weighs less, and trails a smaller tender.

Class G-13 (Locobase 8135)

Data from L&N 8-1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Slightly larger and heavier than earlier Ten-wheelers with 20 x 26 cylinders, this locomotive also had a bigger grate and higher boiler pressure. In addition, 2 arch tubes added 13 sq ft to the firebox heating surface. G-13A #318 was fitted with Walschaert radial valve gear.

Class G-15 (Locobase 9809)

Data from L&N 8 1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Class G-18 (Locobase 9806)

Data from L&N 8 1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Baldwin works numbers 9950,, 9958 in 1889; 10664, 11272, 11276 in 1890.

In 1896, the M & NG was acquired by the Atlanta, Knoxville & Northern, following which absorption the class kept its original numbers.

Class G-19 (Locobase 9807)

Data from L&N 8 1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Baldwin works number 12726.

Class G-2 (Locobase 9800)

Data from L&N 8 1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Class G-2 (Locobase 8141)

Data from L&N 8 1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

According to a compilation of Cooke locomotives by B.Rumary (25 Kingscombe, Gurney Slade, Radstock, BA3 4TH, ENGLAND) and supplied to Locobase by Allen Stanley in March 2004, works numbers for 366-385 were 2166-2185 and delivered from July to October 1892. (The Rumary-Lambert list identifies these as 2-8-0s, but no L & N numbering matches this range other than the 4-6-0s described).

These were relatively small Ten-wheelers even for the early 1890s. The shallow firebox's heating surface didn't even amount to 5% of the total. By 1927, only 367 still appeared on the L & N's active-duty roster.

Class G-23 (Locobase 9810)

Data from L&N 8 1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Baldwin works numbers included 38456-38457, 38605, 38925-38927.

For some reason, the last 3 of the class were scrapped before the LH & StL was bought by the Louisville & Nashville. The first three served the L & N until March 1951, June 1947, and May 1951, respectively.

Class G-5 (Locobase 9801)

Data from L&N 8 1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Class G-6 (Locobase 9802)

Data from L&N 8 1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Baldwin works number 15271.

Class G-7 (Locobase 9803)

Data from L&N 8 1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Baldwin works number 15271.

Class G-8 (Locobase 9804)

Data from L&N 8 1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Class G-8 (Locobase 1098)

Data from L&N 1931ca Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.

Typical turn-of-the-century 4-6-0, this one with a tapered boiler. Nock (RWC II, pl 83) points out that the Belpaired firebox is not readily apparent in illustrations because so much of it is contained within the cab.

Class G-9 (Locobase 9805)

Data from L&N 8 1927 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection.
