IHC 23412 Command XXV UP 2-10-2 "Santa Fe" Locomotive #5009 HO Scale
IHC 23412 Command XXV UP 2-10-2 "Santa Fe" Locomotive #5009
The 2-10-2 type was a direct lineal descendant of the decapod 2-10-0. Application of the rear trailer truck was more for guiding than for support of the firebox. To provide a pair of guiding wheels for a decapod in reverse motion, a new class of locomotive was developed for helper service over Raton and Cajon pass. To assist freight trains up hill the natural procedure was to simply back down the hill for the next up-grade train. A locomotive that could travel equally well in either direction dictated that the decapod 2-10-0 with a two wheel trailing truck added should be named after the road that developed this configuration. Hence the Santa Fe was born on the road of its name sake. The IHC 2-10-2 Santa Fe represents a late steam era development of the grade climbing locomotive.
