Information: | By
1917, the arrival of larger and much heavier freight cars had pushed most 0-6-0
designs to their limits. Realizing that railroads needed bigger and more powerful
switchers to handle these modern cars, the United States Railway Administration
developed plans for an all-new 0-8-0.
Up-to-date in all respects, these
big switchers were the equals in power of many road freight locomotives from just
a few years earlier! Unlike some USRA designs, the 0-8-0 was well liked by the
railroads that received it; 175 were completed before government control ended
in 1920.
But the 0-8-0's ultimate success came in the years that followed
as the USRA design was eventually copied by 35 different roads. In fact, the last
new steam locos built in the US were a series of 0-8-0s, constructed by the N&W
in 1951-53 that followed the general outline of the decades-old USRA design! |
