The Late 1890s Rogers 4-6-0 Locomotives were a series of 4-6-0 "Ten-Wheeler" type steam locomotives built by the Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works for several railroads in the Mid-to-late 1890s.
History[]
In 1895, Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works of Paterson, New Jersey had constructed five of these locomotives for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company, these locomotives had 20 inch x 26 inch (508 mm x 660.4 mm) cylinders, 67-inch diameter driving wheels, a boiler pressure of 175 psi (1.21 MPa), and weighed in at 75.5 tons each (132 tons with tender), the tenders held up to 5,000 gallons of water and 10 tons of coal . The Illinois Central Railroad had bought a total of 40 locomotives of this type between 1896 and 1900, they modified their locomotives with 69-inch driving wheels, increased the boiler pressure from 175 psi (1.21 MPa) to 180 psi (1.24 MPa) and had modified the cylinder size from 20 inch x 26 inch (508 mm x 660.4 mm) to 19.5 inch x 26 inch (495.3 mm x 660.4 mm).
These locomotives had tractive effort of 21,922 lbf (97.5 kN) and they weighed in at 74.85 tons each (118.85 tons with tender). Their tenders could hold up to 4,200 gallons of water and 10 tons of coal.
The Illinois Central Railroad had numbered their locomotives as 371-400.
None of the Late 1890s built Rogers 4-6-0 type Locomotives were preserved, all of them were cut up and scrapped by the 1930’s sometime around 1930-1938/39.
Accidents and Incidents[]
