Apalachicola Northern 4-4-0 "American" Locomotives in the USA


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 100 (Locobase 13559)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 34, p. 176. Works number was 34387 in March 1910.

A Baldwin stock design, this Eight-wheeler was fitted with smaller cylinders than others with the same boiler (for example, the Wichita Falls Route quartet shown in Locobase 13324). It also had a fat, spark-arresting stack. Its career ended prematurely when the 100 was wrecked in 1933.
