Columbus, Hocking Valley & Toledo 2-6-0 "Mogul" Locomotives in the USA


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 7/156/M-16 (Locobase 7244)

Data from the SA&AP 6 - 1917 Locomotive Diagram book supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive Rail Data Exchange. Works numbers were 1372-1375 in October 1892, 1451 in April 1893, 1489-1490 in November

These joined Rome-built Moguls that were built in the same year to very nearly identical specs,

In their second careers, these 2-6-0s came onto the SA&AP years after their first service with the Hocking Valley. 156-162 arrived in 1910, 165-166 a year later. (See Locobase 7235 for a description of this SouthEast Texas railroad.)

Seven survived to be renumbered as Texas & New Orleans engines in the Southern Pacific systems.
