Spokane, Portland & Seattle 4-6-0 "Ten-Wheeler" Type Locomotives

Class D-1 (Locobase 8845)

Data from GN 1916 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Baldwin produced this class in August 1910 (works #35055-35059, 35096-35100) as a continuation of the E-14 order then being delivered to the Great Northern (Locobase 8844). At the same time, the GNand its contentious partner, the Northern Pacific, were stocking the SP & S's motive-power roster. So this set was sent on to the SP & S.

Four were unaltered and scrapped as Ten-wheelers in April and May 1937. The other six were converted to H-1-class Pacifics (see Locobase 8846) and served into the 1950s.
