New Haven USRA R1 Mountain As Delivered

New Haven USRA R1 Mountain As Delivered

Among the many railroads in the United States, the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, better known as the New Haven, received 10 USRA standard Light Mountains from ALCo-Richmond in 1919. Designated the R-1, a further 30 were ordered in 1920 from ALCO-Schenectady with a final batch of 9 in 1924. Schenectady-built Mountains were classified as R-1a; locomotives fitted with feedwater heaters were R-1b. The New Haven extensively maintained and modified the R-1s as they saw fit throughout their service lives, and their fleet of Mountain type steam power expanded throughout the 1930s with the introduction of the R-2 and R-3 classes, which were derived from the original USRA design. All of the NYNH&H's Mountains operated until the late 1950s, when diesels were fully installed as the main traction and all steam power was sold and cut up for scrap. This reskin represents the class leader, New Haven 3300 in her original 'as-built' condition in 1919.

During the first World War, the United States government put the nation's railroads under the control of a government agency: the USRA (United States Railroad Administration). The lasting legacy of the USRA was a group of standard locomotive designs, which were used by railroads across the country. The locomotives were designed to use a minimum of materials to conserve vital materials for the war effort. To serve as many roles as possible, the USRA created a set of 12 standard steam loco designs.
The first to be delivered was Baltimore & Ohio 4500, a USRA light 2-8-2. This engine is currently on display at the B&O Railway Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. The USRA engines came very late: even 4500 served for only a few months before the war ended; many USRA engines were not delivered until after the war.
Due to a focus on freight operations in USRA locomotive allocations, relatively few of the USRA passenger engines were built. There were only 47 of these light 4-8-2s built under the USRA, which made it the second most common USRA passenger engine (after the 81 light 4-6-2s). However, the design was modified and copied often following the end of the war. Many roads ordered similar 4-8-2s before and after the war, so this model can easily be a stand in for many 4-8-2 types around North America.
