Gulledge Brothers Lumber 2-6-0 "Mogul" Locomotives in the USA


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 4 (Locobase 15048)

Data from Roy V Wright (Ed.) 1912 Locomotive Cyclopedia of American Practice, Sixth Edition (New York: Simmons-Boardman Publishing Company, 1912), p. 167. Works number was 11227 in May 1911.

Gulledge Brothers had lumber operations in several states, so Locobase is unable to pin down where this little logging Mogul worked. Its tender capacity suggests a range on
