Class 1 (Locobase 16261)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines, as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 13, p. 95. Works numbers were 8083-8084, 8086, 8090 in August 1886.

Produced in Philadelphia at the same time as the SF's first standard-gauge Eight-wheelers (Locobase 16260), these Moguls burned wood as did the rest of the roster. Baldwin originally estimated their adhesion weight as shown in the Locobase specs. By the time the ACL included them in a table of specs, however, weight on the drivers had increased to 71,200 lb (32,296 kg) and engine weight had grown commensurately to 87,200 lb (39,553 kg).

Although they were renumbered 201-204 by the Savannah, Florida & Western and 603-606 by the Atlantic Coast Line, the latter railroad did not place them in a class.

605 was sold to Weldon Lumber Company in March 1913.

[NB: The direct heating surface area and, consequently, the evaporative heating surface area are estimates based on known firebox areas for other similar 2-6-0s from Baldwin added to the calculated tube heating surface areas.]

Class 10/D1 (Locobase 7351)

Data from ACL 1913 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive Rail Data Exchange. Works numbers were 3094-3095 in September 1882.

These Moguls were bought by the ACL of South Carolina from Rogers at the same time as the 4-4-0s shown in Locobase 7350. Most of the dimensions are similar and vary primarily to accommodate a 2-6-0 arrangement rather than the Eight-wheeler. The steam dome sits proudly over the firebox crown sheet while the equally ornate sand dome hovers over the leading driven axle.

Class 11/G-4 (Locobase 16266)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 10, p. 154. Works number was 5447 in January 1881.

This locomotive is usually catalogued as an 0-6-0 switcher, but the original spec referenced above shows that the 32 was ordered as a broad-gauge (5 feet), wood-burning Mogul. Its front truck had a radius bar pin that shifted sideways, increasing its ability to negotiate curves.

Sometime later, perhaps only after the Atlantic Coast Line took over the SF&W in 1902, tthe 32 received a new number (172) and lost the front truck. Another renumbering to 1178 placed it in the switcher group, where it remained until it was scrapped in 1917.

Class 27 (Locobase 11715)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 16, p. 163 Works numbers were 11468-11470 in December 1890.

The South Florida was acquired by the Plant System's Savannah, Florida & Western in 1893 and renumbered 228-229, 227. Nine years later the class was taken up by the Atlantic Coast Line when it acquired the SF&W and again renumbered, this time 661-662 and 660.

Class 32 (Locobase 16263)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 10, p. 154. Works number was 5447 in January 1881.

This locomotive is usually catalogued as an 0-6-0 switcher, but the original spec referenced above shows that the 32 was ordered as a broad-gauge (5 feet), wood-burning Mogul. Its front truck had a radius bar pin that shifted sideways, increasing its ability to negotiate curves.

Class G (Locobase 7353)

Data from DeGolyer, Volume 19, p. 82. ACL 1930 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive Rail Data Exchange. Works numbers were 13962-13963, 13967, and 13974 in March 1894 and 14686-14688 in February 1896.

Four Moguls supplied by Baldwin in February 1894 went to the Wilmington & Weldon, a principal constituent of the ACL when it formed four years later. The other three were delivered to the Norfolk & Carolina, which connected a W & W branch from Tarboro, NC to Pinner's Point, Va, which served Hampton Roads. For some reason, N&C 416 received ACL number 114.

The 60-ton design's firebox was quite deep, measuring 85 1/4" (2.17 m) in front and 84 1/4" (2.14 m) in back. The boiler, said a note, was designed "to carry compound pressure 180/200 lbs". Locobase suspects this referred to the ability to convert these engines to four-cylinder Vauclain compounds, which used boilers pressed to such an extent. Both the boiler and dome were lagged with asbestos, the mineral fibre available both in blankets and in blocks, that had come into wider user very soon before.

As ACL class G engines, they served three decades and more before being scrapped between April 1929 and October 1933.
