Charcoal Iron Company of America 2-6-0 "Mogul" Locomotives in the USA


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 19 (Locobase 15297)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Vol 73, pp. 14+. Works number was 57667 in March 1924.

Locobase 15227 describes a Mogul originally ordered by the CICofA that was delivered to the Nadawah Lumber Company in 1923. A few months later, the 2-6-0 of exactly the same design ordered for the Nadawah was redirected to the Newberry, Michigan CICofA. So maybe the whole exchange reflected timing problems: the two needed to trade places in the production line.

19 didn't spend a long time on the Charcoal Route before being sold to locomotive rebuilder/reseller Birmingham Rail & Locomotive. The BR&L found a buyer on 28 February 1927 in Yawkey Bissell Lumber Company. Yawkey Bissell later sold the engine to the Marinette, Tomahawk & Western. After a long career, the 19 was retired in 1957, donated to the City of Tomahawk and put on display at Memorial Park.
