The earliest 0-4-0 locomotives were tender engines and appeared as early as c. 1802. The 0-4-0 tank engines were introduced in the early 1850s. The type was found to be so useful in many locations that they continued to be built for more than a century and existed until the end of the steam era. Locomotion No. 1
Like all GS engines, they had teardrop classification lights and an air horn to supplement their whistle. They retained the skyline casing on the top of the boiler but did not have the side skirting of previous GS locomotives. Southern Pacific's GS-6s also lacked the orange and red "Daylight" paint scheme that the previous GS engines so ...
Only the boiler and tender were salvaged, and whilst the tender was reused, the boiler was cut up in 1922. The remaining four locomotives passed to the GWR, and were renumbered 1014/29/35/43. No. 1043 was superheated in 1926, the heating surface being increased to 1,313.5 sq ft (122.03 m 2 ) and the pressure raised to 180 lbf/in 2 (1,240 kPa).
Original #69 tender underframe used to make hybrid tender for Rotary #2 in 1951. Original #69 tender body was substituted for the tender body of Loco #66 in 1951. Original #69 tender body placed as riprap along the Skagway River in 1957. 70 Baldwin Locomotive Works: 2-8-2. 25,200 lbf (112 kN) May 1938 62234 Purchased new. Retired in 1963.
Whaleback tender built for the Kahului Railroad in 1928. A form peculiar to oil-burning engines was the "whaleback" tender (also sometimes called a "turtle-back" or "loaf" tender). This was a roughly half-cylindrical form with the rounded side up; the forward portion of the tank held the oil, while the remainder held the water.
No. 4460 was built in July 1943 and was used during World War II and after. [1] It derailed in 1956 [2] but returned to service. The engine was the first GS-6 ever manufactured and is famous for pulling the last steam-powered passenger train and being the last operational steam locomotive on the Southern Pacific Railroad in October 1958.

[6] 11Bs then found uses on the older parts of the Great Central Railway network, based especially in Sheffield and Annesley, with others scattered elsewhere. [6] By the Grouping, increasing numbers of the engines had been rebuilt with larger superheated boilers and piston valves becoming GCR Class 11D. The last conversion was completed in 1927 ...
The GER Class T19 was a class of 2-4-0 steam tender locomotives designed by James Holden for the Great Eastern Railway. Some were later rebuilt with larger boilers while others were rebuilt with both larger boilers and a 4-4-0 wheel arrangement. Unusually, both the 2-4-0 and 4-4-0 rebuilds were classified as GER Class T19 Rebuilt.
