Description

Here is an Atlas 3704-1 O Union Pacific USRA 0-6-0 Steam Locomotive #4754 (2-Rail DC/DCC Sound).
The United States Railroad Administration (USRA) was formed to control rail traffic and to unify the maintenance and acquisition of equipment. From this directive, the USRA developed standardized designs of locomotives and freight cars that would meet the needs of railroads throughout the country and yet would share design aspects to minimize the number of types that would have to be produced. These standardized locomotives and freight cars were based on proven and sound designs and their longevity of service bear this out. This 0-6-0 steam switcher is one of these standardized designs and could be found across the United States on railroads big and small.

Introduced in the 19th century, the 0-6-0 model locomotive was one of the earliest models ever introduced to rail roads. With the first known use being in the UK (Royal George — 1827) the 0-6-0 would become a staple on European rail-ways with the vast majority of countries relying on the 0-6-0. It wouldn’t take long from the Royal George model of 1827 for the 0-6-0 to gain attention., with models becoming very prominent throughout ,much of the world by the mid-1850s. Standing the test of time is no easy task, but the 0-6-0 was up to the challenge, and would prove its usefulness well into the 20th century gaining prominence in dock-yard railways thanks to their smaller wheel design. The 0-6-0 was a pioneer of the rail-road industry, and now serves a pleasant reminder of how far the industry has come!
