IHCM23717 L&N Class C-2 USRA 0-8-0 Switcher Locomotive #2119

The United States Railroad Administration, USRA, was the Federal organization which ran and supervised the railroads in the US from 1918 till 1921. In an effort to streamline production of railroad materiel during the war years, the USRA standardized the designs of the most widely used locomotive classes. The majority of these projects were good results, and many were used right up till the end of the steam era in the States. The most commonly used of the 12 base models was the 0-8-0.

For heavy switching L&N had 60 eight-wheel switchers, 34 homemade C-1s (nos. 2100-2117 and 2124-2139) and 26 C-2s of USRA design (2118-2123 and 2140-2159) built between 1919 and 1925.
