Texas, Oklahoma & Eastern 2-8-2 "Mikado" Locomotives in the USA


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 225 (Locobase 14125)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 45, p. 226. Works number was 38807 in November 1912.

TO&E had stocked its motive power roster with a new low-drivered Prairie (Locobase 14123), two more from parent DeQueen & Eastern (11748 ), a relatively large 2-8-2 (Locobase 14124) when it ordered this smaller Mikado.


Class 375 (Locobase 14124)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 43, p. 224. Works number was 38094 in August 1912.

Beefing up the motive power of the DeQueen & Eastern's western extension, this middle-sized, saturated-boiler Mikado went to work in late 1912.
