70-492: The company built the first rail lines up connecting historic Colorado mining communities such as Black Hawk , Central City , and Idaho Springs . Through a series of reorganizations and acquisitions, it eventually became part of the Colorado and Southern Railway . Although its historic 3 ft ( 914 mm ) narrow gauge mountain lines were dismantled by the mid 20th century, a portion of its connecting lines paralleling

140-707: A leading truck , six powered and coupled driving wheels on three axles and no trailing wheels . This arrangement is commonly called a Mogul . In the United States and Europe, the 2-6-0 wheel arrangement was principally used on tender locomotives. This type of locomotive was widely built in the United States from the early 1860s to the 1920s. Although examples were built as early as 1852–53 by two Philadelphia manufacturers, Baldwin Locomotive Works and Norris Locomotive Works , these first examples had their leading axles mounted directly and rigidly on

210-609: A chartered steam train across the main street of the heart of Surakarta, named Jaladara . Several 2-6-0 locomotive classes found usage on Ireland’s railways, mainly with freight trains. The first of these would be the Great Southern and Western Railway Class 355 , which were originally built by the North British Locomotive Company as an 0-6-0 type in 1903, but later rebuilt into 2-6-0s after problems occurred; they were soon supplemented with

280-638: A design of William Adams for the Great Eastern Railway in 1878–79. The Midland and South Western Junction Railway acquired two examples built to an Australian design by Beyer, Peacock and Company in 1895 and 1897. A long strike by workers throughout the British engineering industry in 1898/1899 led to a backlog of locomotive orders. This led leading British companies to place orders with American builders for standard light general-purpose locomotives adapted to British requirements. In 1899,

350-545: A period of legal struggles for control of the near-bankrupt enterprise. In 1875, in the midst of the depression, the Union Pacific controlled three-fourths of the company stock. In April, at a company board meeting, Union Pacific proxies voted to lease the company to the Kansas Pacific. The following month, the company board of directors repudiated the agreement by voiding the votes of the Union Pacific proxies on

420-522: A standard type that was being used on the narrow gauge railroads of Maine in the US. A fourth locomotive, identical to the first three, was ordered from the same manufacturer in 1911. In 1912, when these locomotives were assimilated into the South African Railways, they were renumbered with an "NG" prefix to their running numbers. When a system of grouping narrow gauge locomotives into classes

490-476: A technicality. The board re-established Loveland as president. On May 21, 1876, Loveland's forces seized physical control of assets of the Kansas Pacific. In retaliation, the Union Pacific sued the company, forcing it into receivership, during which time Loveland fought to keep control of the company through numerous court proceedings. In February 1877, the Union Pacific relinquished control to Loveland once again. In 1877, with Loveland once again in control, and with

560-615: Is now a part of the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area and the Front Range Urban Corridor . Black Hawk is located adjacent to Central City , another historic mining settlement in Gregory Gulch. The two cities form the federally designated Central City/Black Hawk National Historic District . The area flourished during the mining boom of the late 19th century following

630-615: Is preserved at Tampere in Tampella . Finnish Steam Locomotive Class Sk3s were built from 1903 by Tammerfors Linne & Jern Manufakt. A.B. They were numbered 173 to 177, 191 to 195, 214 to 221, 334 to 359, 373 to 406 and 427 to 436. These locomotives were nicknamed Grandmothers . The State Railway Company of the Dutch East Indies ( Staatsspoorwegen , SS) in Indonesia operated 83 units of 2-6-0 tank locomotives of

700-468: The 1,000 mm ( 3 ft  3 + 3 ⁄ 8  in ) metre gauge CF du Congo Superieur aux Grands Lacs Africains (CFL) between 1913 and 1924. The first eight, numbered 27 to 34, were built in 1913, followed by six more in 1921, numbered 35 to 40. Six more of a slightly larger version followed in 1924, numbered 41 to 46. They had 360 by 460 millimetres (14 by 18 inches) cylinders and 1,050 millimetres (41 inches) diameter driving wheels, with

770-609: The Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (ZAR). They were diverted to Indwe Collieries in the Cape Colony and when the CGR later took control of the colliery line, these locomotives were classified as part of the CGR 3rd Class . All four survived to come into SAR stock in 1912, when they were classified as Class O3. They were withdrawn by 1915. Also in 1900, two Mogul saddle-tank locomotives entered shunting service at

840-413: The 0-6-0 or 0-8-0 designs of the time. The railroads noted their increased pulling power, but also found that their rather rigid suspension made them more prone to derailments than the 4-4-0 locomotives of the day. Many railroad mechanics attributed these derailments to having too little weight on the leading truck. The first true 2-6-0s were built in the early 1860s, the first few being built in 1860 for

910-590: The 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia . It is preserved at the B&;O Railroad Museum , housed in the former Mount Clare shops in Baltimore . Well over 11,000 Moguls were constructed in the United States by the time production had ended in 1910. Very few of these classic steam locomotives still exist, most of them having been scrapped as newer, faster and more powerful steam engines were developed in

980-553: The Class 625 for mixed traffic and the Class 640 for light passenger trains. These locomotives, nicknamed Little Ladies ( Signorine ), were very successful and several were preserved after the end of regular steam services, with some still operational for heritage trains. The Class J of the New Zealand Railways Department (NZR) was its pioneering tender freight locomotive, introduced in 1877 for use in

1050-652: The Front Range survive as active lines of BNSF Railway . The railroad was chartered as the Colorado and Clear Creek Railroad Company on February 9, 1865, by Loveland and other entrepreneurs in the town of Golden, then the capital of the Colorado Territory. Loveland and his partners desired to build a 4 ft  8 + 1 ⁄ 2  in ( 1,435 mm ) standard gauge railroad up Clear Creek Canyon to Central City and other mining centers, and to connect to nearby Denver and Boulder . During

1120-603: The Louisville and Nashville Railroad . The new design required the use of a single-axle swiveling truck. Such a truck was first patented in the United Kingdom by Levi Bissell in May 1857. In 1864, William S. Hudson, then the superintendent of Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works , patented an equalized leading truck that was able to move independently of the driving axles. This equalized suspension worked much better over

1190-708: The Midland Railway (MR), the Great Northern Railway (GNR) and the Great Central Railway (GCR) all purchased examples from the Baldwin Locomotive Works in the US. The MR also bought ten from Schenectady Locomotive Works at the same time. In the United States, the 2-6-0 was already the common design for this sort of engine, and these imports were to be very influential in introducing the wheel arrangement to

1260-653: The Netherlands . They were based in Cepu in Indonesia and were used on the Cepu - Blora - Purwodadi - Semarang - Bojonegoro -Jatirogo route, now closed. By the early 1980s, the survivors of the class were in poor condition. One example, C1218 no. 457, was revived in 2002 after twenty-five years, in Ambarawa motive power depot. By mid-2006 it was operational, and since 2009 it was moved to Surakarta, Central Java to haul

1330-658: The Passaic for the Central Railroad of New Jersey . The Erie Railroad followed in 1862 with the first large order of this locomotive type. In 1863, Rogers Locomotive & Machine Works built more for the New Jersey Railroad and Transportation Company . The Baltimore & Ohio (B&O) no. 600, a 2-6-0 Mogul built at the B&;O's Mount Clare Shops in 1875, won first prize the following year at

1400-541: The South African Railways , they were renumbered and reclassified to Class C . In 1891, the CGR placed two Baldwin-built 2-6-0 Mogul locomotives in freight service, the first American locomotives to enter service in South Africa. They were originally designated 5th Class, but the classification was later changed to 1st Class . One of them still survived in 1912 and was also designated Class 01 by

1470-662: The South Eastern and Chatham Railway ( N class , 1922). Several of these designs continued to be built by the Big Four after 1923, and several new and successful designs were introduced so that the 2-6-0 became the principal type for medium-loaded mixed-traffic duties. Notable new designs included the London Midland & Scottish Railway ’s Hughes Crab (1926), the Southern Railway 's U class (1928),

1540-498: The Standard class 2 in 1952, the Standard class 4 in 1952 and the Standard class 3 in 1954. 2-6-0 locomotives continued to be built until 1957 and the last ones were withdrawn from service in 1968. The first true 2-6-0s with single-axle swivelling leading trucks were built in the United States in 1860 for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad . The New Jersey Locomotive and Machine Company built their first 2-6-0 in 1861, as

1610-713: The Stanier Mogul (1934), the Ivatt class 2 (1946), the Ivatt class 4 (1947), the London and North Eastern Railway ’s class K4 (1937) and the Thompson/Peppercorn K1 class which were built in 1949–50 after the nationalisation of British Railways . British Railways continued to build the Ivatt and Thompson/Peppercorn designs and then introduced three standard designs, based on the Ivatt classes. These were

1680-813: The Tasmanian Government Railways with its C class , the Western Australian Government Railways with its G class (in a 4-6-0 configuration as well) and numerous private users. The SAR also purchased 8 examples of the type built by Baldwin which became the X class . The New South Wales Government Railways had a number of mogul types starting from the 1880s, forming the Z21 , Z22 , Z24 , Z25 and Z27 classes. Twenty 2-6-0 locomotives were built by Les Ateliers de Tubize locomotive works in Belgium for

1750-536: The British 2-6-0 engine of that name , the prototype of its class, built by Neilson and Company for the Great Eastern Railway in 1879. Beyer, Peacock & Company provided large numbers of standard design 3 ft 6 in ( 1,067 mm ) narrow gauge Mogul locomotives to several Australian Railways. Users of the Mogul type include the South Australian Railways with its Y class ,

1820-523: The C12 series, built by Sächsische Maschinenfabrik of Chemnitz , Germany in 1896. They were wood-burning locomotives which consumed two cubic metres of wood and 3,500 litres (770 imperial gallons; 920 US gallons) of water for 4½ hours of steam production. Of these locomotives, 43 survived the invasion by Japan during the Second World War and were still being operated following independence from

1890-758: The CGR placed eight Mogul tender locomotives in service on the Cape Midland system, also built by Kitson & Company. They were all eventually rebuilt to saddle-tank locomotives for use as shunting engines. When a classification system was adopted, they were also designated 1st Class . In 1877, Whythes & Jackson Limited, contracted by the Natal government for the construction of the line from Durban to Pietermaritzburg , took delivery of two 2-6-0 tank locomotives from Kitson & Company for use during construction. The locomotives were not numbered, but were appropriately named Durban and Pietermaritzburg after

1960-620: The Cape Government Railways (CGR) placed eighteen Mogul locomotives in freight service on the Cape Western system, built by Beyer, Peacock & Company and the Avonside Engine Company . They were designated 1st Class when a classification system was adopted. By 1912, three of them survived to be considered obsolete by the South African Railways (SAR), designated Class 01 and renumbered by having

2030-507: The Cape Western system. While similar to the locomotives of 1876, their cylinders were mounted at a downward inclination towards the driving wheelset. They were also designated 1st Class when a classification system was adopted on the CGR. In 1879, the NGR placed seven 2-6-0T locomotives in service. They were subsequently modified to a 4-6-0T wheel arrangement and were designated NGR Class G. In 1912, when fifteen of them were assimilated into

2100-530: The Great Parks Bicycle Route and the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway touring route. The town is located along the north fork of Clear Creek and Gregory Gulch. At the 2020 United States Census , the city had a total area of 1,698 acres (6.871 km ), all of it land. As of the census of 2000, there were 118 people, 54 households, and 28 families residing in the city. The population density

2170-664: The MacBride Museum of Yukon History in Whitehorse, Yukon . Finland's 2-6-0 locomotives were the Classes Sk1, Sk2, Sk3, Sk4, Sk5 and Sk6. Finnish Steam Locomotive Class Sk1s were built from 1885 by Swiss Locomotive & Machine Works . They carried numbers 117 to 131, 134 to 149, 152 to 172 and 183 to 190. These locomotives were nicknamed Little Brown . Class Sk2 locomotives were numbered 196 to 213, 314 to 321 and 360 to 372. They were built by Tampella . No. 315

2240-870: The Port Elizabeth Harbour, followed by one more in 1903. In 1902, the Zululand Railway Company, contractors for the construction of the North Coast line from Verulam to the Tugela River , acquired two 2-6-0 tender locomotives as construction engines. Upon completion of the line in 1903, the locomotives were taken onto the roster of the Natal Government Railways and designated Class I . Between 1902 and 1904, eleven Mogul saddle tank locomotives, built by Hunslet Engine Company , were delivered to

2310-722: The SAR. It was withdrawn from service in 1920. In 1900, while the Second Boer War was still in progress, four 2-6-0T locomotives arrived in the Cape Colony, built by the Dickson Manufacturing Company in 1899. Since they bore cab side-plates inscribed "SS-ZAR" and were named J.S. Smit , J.J. Spier , L.S. Meyer and C. Birkenstock , they were intended for the Netherlands-South African Railway Company (NZASM) in

Bates, Bela Hughes, Walter Cheesman (Denver Water) and Luther Kountze (Colorado National Bank), formed the Denver Pacific Railway on November 19, 1867, with the intention of building a rail line from Denver to Cheyenne. The formation of the Denver Pacific Railway and Telegraph Company set off an intense struggle over

2450-692: The State Historical Fund, administered by the Colorado Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation . In February 2013, the Colorado Supreme Court overturned a citywide ban on bicycle traffic through Black Hawk, ruling that the city had failed to comply with state traffic law. In 2010, the Black Hawk banned bicycle use on most of the streets in the city. The ban was prompted by a surge in traffic following

2520-562: The Table Bay Harbour Board. All were taken onto the Cape Government Railways roster in 1908 and came into SAR stock in 1912, but were considered obsolete and remained unclassified. In 1902, the CGR placed three locomotives with a Mogul wheel arrangement in service on the Hopefield 2 ft ( 610 mm ) narrow gauge branch line that was being constructed from Kalbaskraal . They were built by Baldwin and were of

2590-705: The United Kingdom. At the time of the Grouping in 1923 , 2-6-0 locomotives were already operated by the Great Western Railway ( 2600 and 4300 classes of 1900 and 1911 respectively), the Caledonian Railway (34 class, 1912), the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway ( K class , 1913), the Glasgow and South Western Railway ( 403 class , 1915), the GNR ( H2, H3 and H4 classes , 1920), and

The average household size was 2.19 and the average family size was 2.69. In the city, the population was spread out, with 17.8% under

2730-460: The age of 18, 5.9% from 18 to 24, 33.1% from 25 to 44, 34.7% from 45 to 64, and 8.5% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 41 years. For every 100 females, there were 131.4 males. For every 100 females aged 18 and over, there were 131.0 males. The median income for a household in the city was $ 44,583, and the median income for a family was $ 52,500. Males had a median income of $ 29,688 versus $ 20,833 for females. The per capita income for

2800-487: The center of ore processing for the area, and it became known as the "City of Mills". The Colorado Central Railroad extended its line to the town in 1872. A restored depot and locomotive are on display on the east side of downtown. Black Hawk was also served by the two-foot-gauge Gilpin Tramway which climbed from Black Hawk to the mines above Central City. Many historic buildings in the town have been restored following

2870-529: The change in maximum casino betting limits from $ 5 to $ 100. Black Hawk City Manager Michael Copp said that the city council, which passed the new law, believed it was best for the casinos and their patrons. The penalty for riding a bicycle through Black Hawk was a $ 68 fine. Bicycle advocacy groups challenged the bike ban, with the case ultimately going to the Colorado Supreme Court. State Highway 119 and County Road 279 in Black Hawk are part of

2940-733: The city was $ 25,985. None of the population and none of the families were below the poverty line. Black Hawk Public Schools are part of the Gilpin County School District RE-1 . The district has one elementary school and one high school, Gilpin County Elementary School and Gilpin County Undivided High School . Dave MacKenzie is the Superintendent of Schools. There are approximately 380 students enrolled in

3010-422: The company between local and outside interests continued during the expansion of its lines into the mountains. By the spring of 1873, Jay Gould and other Union Pacific investors had contributed a large financial stake in the railroad, but the company was still controlled by Loveland. The nationwide financial collapse that began later that year practically halted new construction on the company lines, instigating

3080-405: The completion of the standard gauge line from Golden to "Jersey Junction", the junction of the Kansas Pacific and Denver Pacific lines located approximately 3 miles north of Denver. In May 1871 local interests regained control of the railroad from Union Pacific investors. By the following September, 150 men were at work in the mountains west of Golden to extend the line to the mining communities. In

3150-413: The construction of mills and a railroad link to Golden . The town declined during the 20th century but has been revived in recent years after the 1991 establishment of casino gambling following a statewide initiative in 1990. In early 2010, the Black Hawk city council passed a law banning the riding of bicycles in the town, drawing a reaction from bicycle advocacy groups and international press. The ban

3220-442: The district. The Black Hawk & Central City Tramway, operated by the cities of Black Hawk and Central City , provides a free shuttle between the two towns. Ramblin Express and Ace Express Coaches provides transportation from Denver . Mogul (locomotive) Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives , 2-6-0 represents the wheel arrangement of two leading wheels on one axle, usually in

3290-452: The first locomotives to be ordered for use on the then newly laid Cape gauge Natal mainline into the interior. One was sold to the East Rand Proprietary Mines and two came into SAR stock in 1912, but remained unclassified as "NGR 2-6-0T Beyer Peacock Sidetank". Although they were considered obsolete, they remained in service as late as 1931. In 1879 and 1880, the CGR placed ten Moguls, built by Beyer, Peacock and Company, in freight service on

3360-423: The first train arrived in Denver from Cheyenne, bypassing Golden. Two months later, the Kansas Pacific completed its line to Denver, linking up with the Denver Pacific, and cementing the central role of Denver in Colorado. As a consequence, the Colorado Central turned its attention towards linking up with the Denver Pacific and Kansas Pacific lines. On September 24, 1870, the company achieved its first success with

3430-438: The frame of the locomotive rather than on a separate truck or bogie . On these early 2-6-0 locomotives, the leading axle was merely used to distribute the weight of the locomotive over a larger number of wheels. It was therefore essentially an 0-8-0 with an unpowered leading axle and the leading wheels did not serve the same purpose as, for example, the leading trucks of the 4-4-0 American or 4-6-0 Ten-Wheeler types which, at

3500-421: The gambling revenue that Central City does. Although the 1990 statewide referendum allowing casino gambling in Black Hawk was promoted as a way to promote historic preservation in Black Hawk, critics have charged that it has had the opposite effect, and that the historic appearance of Black Hawk has been sacrificed to allow construction of the large casinos. Tax from the gambling revenue provides funding for

3570-444: The historic character of the town, Black Hawk has no such limits. In an attempt to close the competitive gap, Central City built the Central City Parkway from Interstate 70 near Idaho Springs as an alternative route, leading guests first to Central City, and then to Black Hawk. The Central City Parkway opened November 19, 2004. However, Black Hawk continues to have three times the number of casinos and generates more than seven times

3640-449: The line had been extended 7.7 miles further to Black Hawk . By February 24, 1873, a second line from Forks Creek had been extended 3.3 miles to Floyd Hill. In September, the company's shop in Golden produced the first passenger car in Colorado. On May 11, 1874, the company took delivery of an 18-ton Mogul locomotive from Dawson & Baily. The new locomotive replaces the "Sheridan" as the #1 locomotive. The see-saw battle for control of

3710-522: The miners exhausted the shallow parts of the veins that contained free gold and found that their amalgamation mills could not recover gold from the deeper sulfide ores. Nathaniel P. Hill built Colorado's first successful ore smelter in Black Hawk in 1868. Hill's smelter could recover gold from the sulfide ores, an achievement that saved hardrock mining in Black Hawk, Central City, and Idaho Springs from ruin. Other smelters were built nearby. Black Hawk's advantageous location on North Clear Creek made it

3780-421: The more common 4-6-0 Ten-Wheelers. Canadian National (CN) had several. One of them, the CN no. 89, an E-10-a class locomotive built by Canadian Locomotive Company in 1910, has been owned and operated since 1972 by the Strasburg Rail Road in Pennsylvania in the US, in conjunction with the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania . A well-preserved version, the White Pass and Yukon Route No. 51, can be found at

3850-424: The national Depression receding, the company began expanding its lines once again. Black Hawk, Colorado Black Hawk is a home rule municipality located in Gilpin County , Colorado , United States. The population was 127 at the 2020 United States Census , making it the least populous city (but not town) in Colorado. It was a mining settlement founded in 1859 during the Pike's Peak Gold Rush and

3920-424: The next two years between the two companies to complete their lines connecting to Union Pacific. By the following year, the success of the Denver Pacific investors in persuading the United States Congress to grant them land allowing them to construct a line throughout the South Platte River valley to Cheyenne made it evident that Denver would prevail over Golden. The Denver Pacific line was complete in June 1870 and

3990-468: The numeral 0 prefixed to their existing numbers. All were withdrawn from service by 1916. Also in 1876, the CGR placed a pair of Stephenson's Patent back-to-back Mogul type side-tank locomotives in service on the Cape Midland system, built by Kitson & Company . They were later separated and rebuilt to saddle-tank locomotives for use as shunting engines. When a classification system was introduced, they were designated 1st Class. In 1876 and 1877,

4060-641: The opening of the casinos in 1991. The town has been in heated competition for gambling revenue with its neighbor Central City since casinos opened in both towns in 1991. Development of the area down Clear Creek from the historic Black Hawk townsite lining State Highway 119 has flourished. Gamblers from Denver pass the Blackhawk casinos before they arrive at Central City, and, as a result, Black Hawk has realized much more revenue from gambling than Central City. Gambling in Black Hawk also benefits from less restrictive zoning codes; while Central City until recently limited building heights to 53 feet (16 m) to preserve

4130-447: The re-gauged Canterbury region of the South Island. Built by the Avonside Engine Company and other locomotive works in England, they were shipped to New Zealand in kit form. They eventually served all over New Zealand's fledgling rail network on both islands. In time, they were replaced on mainline running as larger power arrived. Many survived into the 1920s as yard shunters and some were converted to tank locomotives. In 1876 and 1877,

4200-443: The similar Class 368 . Some of these locomotives were converted to oil firing and one even for peat-burning. Later classes of 2-6-0 include the Dublin and South Eastern Railway nos. 15 and 16 (with no. 15 being preserved), and the Great Southern Railways Classes 372 and 393 , the latter of which were based on the British SECR N Class . The Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane came to operate more than 500 2-6-0 locomotives of

4270-475: The smaller versions having a working order mass of 28.8 tonnes (28.3 long tons; 31.7 short tons) and the larger versions 33.4 tonnes (32.9 long tons; 36.8 short tons). Most of the CFL was regauged to 3 ft 6 in ( 1,067 mm ) gauge in 1955, as were all of the serving Moguls. Most of them still survived in 1973. A large number of 2-6-0 locomotives were used in Canada, where they were considered more usable in restricted spaces, being shorter than

4340-440: The spring of 1872 the company acquired critical right-of-way along Clear Creek to extend its line. West of Golden, the line built as 3 ft ( 914 mm ) narrow gauge. In late August, the company took delivery of its first two locomotives (both 0-4-0 T ), the General Sherman, No. 2 , followed a week later by General Sheridan, No. 1. On September 1, the track was completed 13.3 miles to Forks Creek. By mid-December,

4410-414: The three years before construction on the line began the company underwent several reorganizations. On January 20, 1866, the name of the railroad was changed to the Colorado Central & Pacific Railroad . The following year, in June 1867, the company was reorganized; Union Pacific investors were in control, but provided no funds for construction. That year, the seat of territorial government for Colorado

4480-467: The time, had been in use for at least a decade. The first American 2-6-0 with a rigidly mounted leading axle was the Pawnee , built for heavy freight service on the Philadelphia & Reading Rail Road . In total, about thirty locomotives of this type were built for various American railroads. While they were generally successful in slow, heavy freight service, the railroads that used these first 2-6-0 locomotives didn't see any great advantages in them over

4550-443: The two towns which were to be connected by the new railway. Upon completion of the construction contract at the end of 1880, the locomotives were taken over by the Natal Government Railways (NGR) and in 1893 they were sold to the Selati Railway. In 1877 and 1878, seven Mogul tank locomotives were also delivered to the NGR by BP, built to the same design as the two contractor's locomotives. Later classified as NGR Class K , they were

4620-426: The uneven tracks of the day. The first locomotive built with such a leading truck was likely completed in 1865 for the New Jersey Rail Road and Transportation Company as their number 39.
