Quakertown & Eastern 2-6-0 "Mogul" Locomotives in the USA


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 1 (Locobase 11518)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines, 1903, as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 26, p. 198. Works number was 23256 in November 1903.

This Mogul was a replacement for a 2-6-0 delivered to the Quick & Easy just 10 months earlier that had proved prone to derailments because of its long wheelbase. The new #1 seems not to have breen much more satisfactory and was soon sold to the Pennsylvania & Eastern in 1907 and to the Ocean Shore for $9,780 in November 1907.
