Western Maryland 2-6-0 "Mogul" Locomotives in the USA


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 21 (Locobase 11794)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 11, p. 27. Works numbers were 6257, 6260 in June 1882; 6330 in August.

All three of these Moguls served for 25 years on the WM before being sold in April 1907 to Southern Iron & Equipment, the locomotive rebuilder/reseller that renumbered the trio 590-592. Each was then sold to a different lumber company beginning with 591 to Titusville Lumber in July 1907, then 592 to Henderson Lumber Company in August, and ending with 590 to Alexandria Lumber (Alexandria, La) in March 1908.
