Reading No. 110 was a C1a Class, an experimental 4-4-4 steam locomotive built in 1915 by the Reading Railroad's own Reading Shops as a 4-4-4, but later was rebuilt into a 4-4-2 in 1916.
This engine was assigned for fast passenger service on the Reading Railroad for much of its career.
Shortly after the locomotive was retired, and later sold for scrap.
Trivia[]
- This was one of four C1a Class locomotives built in 1915 for the Reading railroad. The only ones of their kind on the Reading, were built at the company's shops. They had front and rear trucks very much alike, but being unstable were rebuilt in 1916 into Atlantics.
- Doc, From The Little Engine That Could (1991), is based on this engine, albeit without a tender.
