Other than the 2-8-0 consolidated class engine, what other class of engine would have seen normal duity pulling a coal drag, or freight cars?
Looking for smaller classes engine from the area of PRR, P&LE, LACKAWANNA, LEHIGH VALLEY, MON VALLEY, NKP…
On the PRR L1s class mikados were used on coal drags following the H8,H9 consolodations.
NYC sure like Hudsons, and NKP liked Berks
The Reading Lines used a rebuilt ISo steam locomotive called a T1 & it was a
4-8-4, weighed close to 404 tons with tender, and used anthricite coal( a harder grade of coal).
