Data from DeGolyer, Volume 28, p 78. See also Walter Marshall MacDougall, The old Somerset railroad: a lifeline for northern Mainers (Camden, ME: Down East Books, 2000) and an extended description of the route at Locobase 11434. Works numbers were 26269-26270 in August 1905.
MacDougall places this pair of Ten-wheelers at the top of the scale for size and weight. They were bought, he says, to handle the grades above Bingham. Welcome as they were, the engines "...were ten feet longer than the biggest engines on the road. New additions had to be tacked onto the engine houses, and the turntables were extended." Pointing out that that was "no small job" and probably included constructing new pits of poured concrete. (p. 174).
But the two were quite a bit smaller than other standard-gauge Ten-wheelers, but served the Somerset for decades. After the Maine Central took over in 1911 (with 982 new rules for SRR hands to follow), the 20 and 21 were placed in class G and renumbered 106-107.
106 was scrapped in June 1930. MacDougall writes that Somerset Branch remained healthy into the 1930s, but MEC management were not inclined to maintain service. Thus passenger service north of Bingham ceased in 1932 past Bingham Heights and on 22 July 1933, the last train to Oakland ran. The 107 was scrapped by the MEC in May 1935.
Data from "Locomotive Building," The Railroad Gazette, Vol XLI, No 9 (31 August 1906), p. 56. See also DeGolyer, Vol 27, p. 78. Works numbers were 41436-41437.

See Locobase 2151 for a short history of this Maine shortline.
In the same month as the first three 4-4-0s (Locobase 2151) were produced for the WCRR, this quintet of Ten-wheelers also came to life. They apparently shared the same firebox and had the same number of fire tubes as the Americans, which they immediately preceded on Brooks' Dunkirk factory floor,. But each tube was 11" longer , the Ten-wheelers rolled on smaller drivers, and adhesion weight increased by more than 12 tons in each locomotive.
Unlike the 4-4-0s, however, three of these freight locomotives served Maine for almost 40 years and one fell just short of 50 years.

In the 1920s, Baldwin and Alco's Schenectady Works each manufactured two new boilers. Baldwin order numbers 7480-1 and -2 were produced for 113-114 in 1921; Schenectady order numbers 89755-1 and -2 went into 112 and 115 in 1923
When Locobase first encountered this class in 2005-2006, he did not know the class's original owner (i.e., the WC), so he repeated the data.

MEC passenger power expanded with the acquisition of these Ten-wheelers at the turn of the century. Schenectady delivered them in small batches in a sequence that coincided with the merger of several builders into the American Locomotive Company. The first 4 were Schenectady builder's numbers 4965-4966 & 5359-5360, the next 3 -- 1901 -- had numbers 6066-6068. Two years later, the last two were amalgamated builder's numbers 27660-27661.
All but 282 were superheated, according to the 1923 book, but none of the engines are credited with superheater in the 1947 edition. Possibly the superheaters had been removed.

These were the later of the Alco Ten-wheelers used in the MEC's passenger service. In addition to adding 2" of stroke to the earlier cylinder outfit, the class also had taller drivers. 288-289 had 19 1/2"-diameter cylinders, which increase tractive effort to 23,000 lb. They were delivered in pairs as indicated by their builder's numbers: 29723-29724, 30450-30451, 40081-40082.
Of the six in the class the first to retire was the 286, which was scrapped in April 1937. 285 and 288 were withdrawn in September 1938. The other three served throughout World War II.

Works numbers were 27657-27659 and 29029-29030 in 1903) and 30323-30326, 38170-38173 in 1905.
Mixed-traffic engines like these Ten-wheelers were often the backbone of a small system's locomotive stud. Compared to other turn-of-the-century 4-6-0s, these locomotives had big boilers and grates, but a relatively low amount of direct heating surface. (At the time, RA reported that the evaporative heating surface area was greater "than the boilers of any locomotives of this typ fo which we have record, with the exception of some Northern Pacific engines."
This entry refers to the first thirteen, which had Stephenson valve gear. Schenectady supplied its production in small batches.
See Locobase 7058 for the Walschaert engines, which were built by Rhode Island.
All of this class were superheated beginning in 1916; see Locobase 15894.

Mixed-traffic engines like these Ten-wheelers were often the backbone of a small system's locomotive stud. This entry refers to the Walschaert engines delivered by the Ocean State's own Rhode Island Locomotive Works. 7057 shows the Schenectadies delivered with Stephenson link motion.
These may have been the engines that were originally intended for the Pittsburg, Binghamton & Eastern, a Bradford, Pa county railroad that encountered too many vicissitudes to ever actually begin serving any customers. (See Eleanor Parsons Keagle, "The PB & E-The Railroad That Never Ran", Elmira (NY) Telegram , 8 August 1955, hosted on Joyce M Tice's Tri-Counties Genealogy & History website ([], last accessed 10 July 2010).

Locobases 7057-7059 show the large stud of saturated-boiler Ten-wheelers as they were delivered in 1903 and 1907. Beginning in 1916, but applied to most locomotives in the mid-1920s, the MEC superheated the entire class to the same standard. The initial makeover was confined to the usual subtraction of small tubes to make way for superheater flues. Later, the railroad removed all of the arch tubes and installed two thermic syphons in the firebox. This added 51 sq ft (4.75 sq m) to the firebox heating surface area and raised it to 228 sq ft (21.2 sq m).
375 and 377 were scrapped in February 1939 while the others carried on through World War II. 381-382 went next in April 1947, 374 was scrapped in October, 376 followed almost 3 years later in June 1950. More than three years after that 380 (October) and 373, 379 (November) were sent to the boneyard.
Data from MEC 2 - 1923 and MEC & PTC 7- 1947 Maine Central locomotive diagrams supplied by Allen Stanley in May 2005 from his extensive Rail Data Exchange; and DeGolyer, Volume 30, pp. 44-45. Works numbers were 32267-32268, 32304 in November 1907; 32344, 32395, 32428 in December; 32566, 32575, 32644 in January 1908; and 32675 in February.
As the MEC added mixed-traffic Ten-wheelers, they went to several builders. Alco's Schenectady Works locomotives are shown in Locobase 7057. Those of the Rhode Island Works (also part of Alco by this time) appear in Locobase 7058. In 1907, Baldwin added ten to the stud. In the Baldwin specification, a note reported maximum main-line curves as 18 deg on the whole, but one curve tightened to 21 deg. (Presumably the Alco batches had to address those curvatures as well.)
The Eddystone engines had more but shorter boiler tubes than the Alco. As a result, heating surface amounted to a little less than the Alcos. The first six had ash pan dampers, but it's possible the installation didn't work out. A 13 January 1908 note advised the builder to "omit ash-pan damper and damper work."
All were superheated by the Maine Central beginning in 1916; see Locobase 15894.
Data from MEC 2 - 1923 and MEC & PTC 7- 1947 Maine Central locomotive diagrams supplied by Allen Stanley in May 2005 from his extensive Rail Data Exchange. Works numbers were 59050-59057 in 1917 and 62051-62054 in 1920.
A full decade after the last of the previous orders for Ten-wheelers had been delivered to the MEC (Locobase 7059), the railroad ordered eight more in 1917and followed these with four more in 1920 . The first eight may be credited to the exigencies of wartime, but the last quartet probably reflect more the relatively modest size of the MEC's mixed-traffic trains.
In addition to more adhesion weight (and engine weight, too), the new purchases featured larger cylinders, lower boiler pressure, an installed superheater, and taller drivers. Note as well the use of a third valve-gear design, the Baker gear on this group joining the earlier Stephenson link and Walschaert radial valve gears. Arch tubes contributed 26 sq ft (2.4 sq m) to the firebox heating surface.
Data from Dole's Maine Central roster supplied by Allen Stanley in August 2013 from his extensive Rail Data Exchange collection. See also "Maine Central Purchases Ten-Wheel Locomotives", Railway Age, Volume 76, No 10 (8 March 1924), pp. 555-556. Works numbers were 6482-6489 in May 1923.
From the relatively large Ten-wheelers Baldwin produced for the MEC in 1917, the railroad turned to Lima for lighter, somewhat less powerful 4-6-0s after World War One. They used 12" (305 mm) piston valves to supply the cylinders.
RA's report acknowledged that ordering a new Ten-wheeler locomotive had become a rare event in the 1920s, but argued that in many places the arrangement were "the most satisfactory power units." Local or heavy suburban passenger traffic "where frequent and quick starting with rapid acceleration are of importance in avoiding delays in getting the train under way" was one setting. Another service would require "short runs with steep grades and moderate speeds." In both, "ample tractive force" trumped the ability to run at high speeds.
Granting that the design wasn't really designed to go fast, the class did "ride smoothly at speeds up to 45 mph [72.5 kph] with 50 mph (80 kph) easy to obtain and maintain because of the "careful attention" given to counterbalancing. RA reported that the engines were said "to be free steamers, light on coal and water, burn their fire evenly, carry their water well, ride nicely, start their trains quickly and run well. Further burnishing their early reputation, heavily loaded freights would "keep going at a rate under three miles and hour [5 kph] on a good rail without slipping."
They operated on the more lightly built sections east of Bangor, although even these engines had average axle loadings over 45,000 lb (20,412 kg). Four ran on the 56-mile (90 kph) K&L branch, which RA described as "rather hilly and with crooked track." The others ran on the main line. All remained in service on the MEC throughout World War Two.
Retirements and scrapping began in June 1949 and ended in December 1952.
