Castle Valley No. 103

There was a Castle Valley Railroad no. 103, a 2-8-0 built by Lima in 1912 (Lima 1211; January 1912). Castle Valley 103 was seldom (if ever) in service after D&RG took over operations of Utah Railway in late 1914, using its own locomotives. CVRR no. 103 was found to be excess after Utah Railway took over its own operations in December 1917, and in 1918 the Lima was transferred "sold" to Compania Real del Monte y Pachuca at Pachuca, Mexico, a mining subsidiary since 1906 of United States Smelting Refining & Mining.

Utah 3 CVRR 105 Alco-Schenectady 49309 Dec 1910 Apr 1942

The "Official Manual of Utah Railway," dated January 1, 1937, shows Utah no. 3 as being the former Castle Valley no. 105.

(This is contrary to all railfan-compiled lists for Schenectady, which show 49309 as CVRR 102, a number that was in direct conflict with SURR 102 on the jointly operated railroad.)

General Notes:

  1. Locomotive Specifications: 145,000 pounds weight on drivers; 269,000 pounds total engine and tender weight
  2. Utah Railway C-50 Class (C-50 20/26 145); also Consolidated Class; also "Consolidation - Switch & Passenger Locomotive".
  3. Utah Railway no. 3 was purchased on July 1, 1918, after being leased from Castle Valley Railroad since December 1, 1917.
  4. In his roster in Railroad History, Issue 123, page 94, Bill Edson lists this locomotive as having 50-inch drivers and 20x24 cylinders.
  5. Tender was 5000 gallon, 9 ton capacity rectangular style, 24 feet, 3 inches overall length.

Notes:

  1. Utah Railway no. 3 was sold to United States Transportation Corps, Ogden Arsenal no. 6905, April 10, 1942; for sale by War Assets Administration in February 1947, probably scrapped.

Utah 200 Baldwin 48221 Apr 1918 7 Jun 1918 11 Jul 1918 Sep 1954  
Utah 201 Baldwin 48222 Apr 1918 18 Jun 1918 6 Jul 1918 Mar 1957 1
Utah 202 Baldwin 48901 Jun 1918 27 Jun 1918 5 Aug 1918 Oct 1954  

In 1918, Utah Railway received three 2-8-8-0 locomotives, ordered in late 1916 by the Union Pacific Equipment Association. Utah Railway had asked for UP's assistance in the design of these locomotives, with Utah Railway soon to assume the operation of its own trains. UP evaluated the available designs, and determined that the design of fifteen B&O EL-series delivered in 1916 was a good match for the projected and similar service slow speed coal drags on Utah Railway. These three Utah Railway locomotives were very similar to later UP's MC-class, but were built by Baldwin and were about 12,000 pounds lighter (weight on drivers) than the sixteen locomotives delivered in 1918 to UP and OSL. Utah Railway used MC-2 as the class for their locomotives, the same as UP's class.

General Notes:

  1. Locomotive Specifications: 462,500 pounds weight-on-drivers; 702,700 pounds total engine and tender weight
  2. Utah Railway MC-57 26-41/32 463 S.S. Class; also MC-2 Class; also "Mallet Consolidation Freight Locomotive".
  3. Power reverse added in 1942.
  4. Standard stoker.
  5. Baldwin order number: 11252; ordered by Union Pacific Equipment Association on December 19, 1916

Notes:

  1. The tender from Utah Ry. number 201 was moved in the early 1970s from the Martin yard, to the equipment storage yard of H-E Lowdermilk Construction company at Spring Glen, Utah (between Price and Helper). The tender is still there as of April 2022. (Read more about this tender)
