QUOTE: Originally posted by daveklepper Again, the C&O 2-10-4's were better than the PRR's because they had rear-truck boosters. But certainly, 2-10-4's originally called Texas types because the first were on the Texas Pacific, were a widely applied long-wheel-base non-articulated, used by more than a few railroads, and used on mountains and on the level in a wide variety of freight service, and many lasted well into the diesel era, not being the first to be scrapped, like the duplexes.
