The Colorado and Southern Class E-4 is a class of five 2-8-2 "Mikado" type steam locomotives that were built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Colorado and Southern Railway in 1911.
History edit
During the days of steam, the Colorado and Southern Railway needed an all-new class of steam locomotives that could haul freight trains at fast speeds, in response to this, the Baldwin Locomotive Works, who was insisting on designing a locomotive class for the Colorado and Southern Railway had went to the drawing board to create an all-new design.
In all, a total of five examples were built in 1911 numbered 800-804. Enter the Colorado and Southern Classes E-4 and E-4a, they were built to haul freight trains at a maximum speed of 65 mph (105 km/h) and that they had two types of series within the class, such as the "E-4" and "E-4a".
In 1925, all five examples were updated and reclassified as "E-4a", and all five examples were passed onto the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad from 1933-1947,
Withdrawal of the class had occurred and not a single one of the five were preserved, they were all scrapped.
