Marietta & North Georgia 2-8-0 "Consolidation" Locomotives in the USA


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 25 (Locobase 12056)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 18, p 124. Works number was 13108 in December 1892

This lone Vauclain compound Consolidation went with the M&NG when it was transformed into the Atlanta, Knoxville & Northern. In 1898, the 25 was sold to the Texas Central and renumbered 112; it was renumbered 681 when the TC was absorbed by the Missouri-Kansas-Texas. In 1914, the Katy rebuilt the engine with 19" x 24" simple-expanson cylinders.
