The introduction of the 4-6-2 design in 1901 has been described as "a veritable milestone in locomotive progress". [3] On many railways worldwide, Pacific steam locomotives provided the motive power for express passenger trains throughout much of the early to mid-20th century, before either being superseded by larger types in the late 1940s and 1950s, or replaced by electric or diesel-electric ...
The South African Railways Class 16DA 4-6-2 of 1930 is a class of steam locomotives. In 1930, the South African Railways placed six redesigned Class 16DA steam locomotives with a 4-6-2 Pacific type wheel arrangement in passenger train service.
The BR Standard Class 6, otherwise known as the Clan Class, was a class of 4-6-2 Pacific tender steam locomotive designed by Robert Riddles for use by British Railways.Ten locomotives were constructed between 1951 and 1952, with a further 15 planned for construction.
L. B. Billinton was undecided whether to enlarge the J1 and J2 4-6-2 tank locomotives designed by his predecessor D. E. Marsh, or design an equivalent sized 4-6-0 tender locomotive. Large tank locomotives were well-suited to the railway's operating conditions, with a relatively short but very intensely used system, particularly in the vicinity ...
[4] [5] Although there were Ts and Ts-1 class 4-8-2 locomotives valid enough to that handle this work, they could not be relocated to some of SOU's routes over and over. [4] The SOU decided to revise the 4-6-2 type and ordered the more powerful Ps-4 Heavy Pacific class with the first batches built in 1923 by American Locomotive Company's (ALCO ...
Its successors, both also of the 4-6-4T wheel arrangement, were the Dm class of 1945 that was rebuilt from older E class 4-6-2 tender locomotives, and the Dd class of 1946. The New South Wales Government Railways 30 Class 4-6-4T locomotives were used on Sydney and Newcastle suburban passenger train workings from 1903 until the end of steam ...
The first London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) Class A2 was a class of 4-6-2 steam locomotive designed by Vincent Raven for the North Eastern Railway (as NER class 4.6.2). [1] Two were built by the NER in 1922 before the grouping and another three by the LNER in 1924. Their LNER numbers were 2400–2404. All five locomotives were named by ...
The Belgians had designed 600 mm gauge 4-6-2 T locomotives as early as in 1900–1901 for Chemins de fer du Calvados.The prototype was Tubize factory type 73. Weidknecht used these drawings and built similar 11-ton locomotives with subcontracted boilers, presumably built by S.A.Energie, Marcinelle.
