The USRA standard designs of 1918 did not include a 2-6-0. Southern Pacific 2-6-0 No. 1744, 1982. WDWRR No. 2 Lilly Belle, built in 1928. Five notable 2-6-0 locomotives are still in operation in the United States. Southern Pacific No. 1744 has spent more time out of service than it did under its own power in the preservation era.
