Re: [CBQ] [BRHSlist] CB&Q Steam Engine Classifications Chart

    Rupert:
    Okay, I will do that. My chart information, warts and all,  was
    pulled from an email with both steam and diesel classes. I have lost
    the name of the email sender, who I am owing to for the foundation
    of this chart. 
    As I had hoped, you and others have come to my rescue and the result
    is a process of improvements to this chart. 
    I will try to add to the notes on this web page, above this chart, 
    some comments regarding the conversions and etc. the were noted with
    the A and B letters in the 'class' names. 
    Thanks everyone for your help. Further info and suggestions are
    welcomed.

You may want to add classes A-7 and D-1. In the book, Corbin referred to the L-1’s as “ten-coupled”.

The  O-4 is listed as a 4-8-4. Should be a 2-8-2.

Hello all:
While working on improving the BRHS web site's steam locomotives photos and roster data I put together this chart. 
It can be found on the BRHS web site at this URL. Note that it is in the Members Only area so you will need to log on before using this link.   https://www.burlingtonroute.org/members_only/secured/steam_roster/steam_locomotive_classifications.php

If you folks who are experts in the steam locomotive (not me) see any errors in this chart, please reply. Also if you know the meaning of the different class numbers and trailing letters, please send me that and I will add that to this chart.



If you visit the BRHS photo feature and browse the steam locomotives you will see that the titles below the photos are undergoing a change. They are all being changed to the syntax seen
in the example below. Location and dates are added were available.  The location and dates are not included for search results at this time, but are included for Category and Album browsing when choosing steam locomotives. Cool... Yes?
 
BTW, the comma after the engine number is very important as it allows for the reading of this title with a program that will enable connecting the roster data to these photos. In other words, please don't edit them out.  Thanks! If you visit a steam locomotive page that has not yet be revised to this syntax, I invite you to edit this title change. Don't forget the comma.
