Generic data on Burlington steam, especially post-War, is not hard to
find. Corbin's books have ample data, various issues of our
Burlington Bulletin have some, etc. A modeler does not have to work
too hard to learn whether his particular 0-1a model should have a
Worthington or Elesco feedwater heater (FWH). How about some data not
as common for you super detailers or railfans who like to know every
rivet?
Per a Q-issued "Classification of Locomotives" from 1955:
(and this is Q only, NOT C&S or FtW&D)
There were 106 steam locos on the active roster plus 1 for Exhibition
(#35) & 3 held for museums (#915, 919 & 1553) for a total of 110 on
the property. The actives included G-10 #565, K-2 #637, 18 M-4a's, 3
O-3's, 2 0-4's, 27 O-5a's, 6 O-5b's, 5 S-4's and 2 ea of S-4a's & S-
4b's.
Unique features for ea class not normally shown on rosters:
M-4a = 6316 was only one equipped with a Wilson Sludge Remover in its
tender; all had a DA type coal pusher EXCEPT 6310, 6321, 6323, 6324,
6325, 6326 & 6327. (no notation of what type coal pusher, if any, for
those 7). All had Schmidt type E superheaters.
0-1a = all had BK stokers except the following which had Martin
stokers: 4958, 4965, 4970, 4972, 4977, 4979, 4984, 4985, 4987, 4989,
4993, 4996, 5122, 5126, 5135, 5137, 5142 and 5143. All had type A
Schmidt superheaters.
0-4 = only 5508 had the Delta Trailer Truck (shown in Corbin's "Steam
Locos") All had type A Schmidt superheaters.
0-5a&b = all had Loco speed recorder EXCEPT the following which had
Chicago's: 5604, 5605, 5608, 5609, 5610, and 5626 thru 5235. Only
5620 & above had cast steel pilots with 5623 also having a loco valve
pilot. Only 5625 is shown with poppet valves. All had type E
Schmidt superheaters.
S-4 & S-4a = all had Loco speed recorders except 3001, 3003 & 3005
which had Chicago's. All had type E Schmidt superheaters.
Did any Q freight cars AND steam loco tenders share the same trucks?
Surprisingly (to me anyway), YES! Per a 1930's Q truck diagram book:
The Q had 30 classes (inc. subclasses) of wood frame & steel frame
passenger car trucks in use just prior to the advent of lightweight
passenger cars. They had 3 classes of gas-electric trailer trucks &
4 classes of gas-electric motor trucks. There was one class of wood
frame waycar/combo waycar [CW] trucks (pre-NE10) classified
as "passenger" as they were also used on some head end cars (905,
909, 910, 912 [all cream cars that lasted til "32], 951 & 953 [milk
cars lasting til "31/32]& 1600 [a 40' baggage in use til "31]) & the
last wood coach classified as a Miner & Shop car - #9029 (used to
ferry employees - Plattsmouth or W. Burlington??). The NE-10 class
waycars used the Frt class #3-F (Bettendorf)
There were also 46 classes of frt car trucks of 30-50 ton capy. at
the time. There were 23 classes of tender trucks of 25-150 ton capy.
Of these it's noted classes #13B (25 ton for G-1 & G-3 locos), #17
(30 ton for G-1 & G-3) and #26 (40 ton for G-5a & G-6) were also used
for freight cars. All were arch-bar.
If anyone needs to know which class of truck went to which type of
loco tender, passenger or frt car or needs a copy of a diagram,
contact me off list. vje682hotmail.com Merry Christmas!
