Description
Railroad Short Name: ATSF
Known as a highly efficient replacement for the 2-6-0 Mogul – it could move trains twice as heavy at a fraction of the cost – the 2-8-0 Consolidation was a mainstay on railroads all over the world.
Although only a handful of railroads bought Consolidations when Baldwin first introduced them, substantial credence was given to the design when the Pennsy made it their staple freight hauler in 1875. Over 33,000 2-8-0 locomotives were built in the US. 12,000 of them were exported. That left 21,000 of these classic steamers to do their work Stateside.
