Atlanta, Georgia. Circa 1940

No. 1293 Class H-28 Consolidation  

This Consolidation has an L&N logo below the engineer's cab which is unusual since this logo was reserved for dedicated passenger engines and the Consolidations were freight engines. This Consolidation, in addition, either has an extra hose on the pilot deck, which  I believe is a steam line, meaning that it had been modified for use as a passenger engine, most probably on a light branch, possibly the "hook & eye" line. (original L&N main, Knox. to Atlanta, but now abandoned or sold to short lines, mostly abandoned).

L&N No. 2126 Eight-Wheel Switcher class C-1

Evansville, IN. October 1948

 

Although a few of these, on other roads, were rebuilds of road power, such as Consolidations (2-8-0) or Mikado types (2-8-2), for heavy switching 34 of L&N's 60 eight-wheel switchers (0-8-0) were home-made C-1s built between 1922 and 1923. The C-1s engines had similar-sized boilers to the homebuilt heavy 2-8-0s.  This heavier variety served until well into the diesel age, and a few were sold to the Woodward Iron Works in Birmingham and soldiered on into the 60s.  One example of this class is preserved in Birmingham.

Nashville, TN. May 1940

 

The L&N had 25 Class B-4 switchers of their almost 100 Type 0-6-0 switchers. Most were retired before 1940. They became obsolete with heavier cars, and longer cuts entering the picture in the 30s. No. 2058 was manufactured in 1903.
