IHC 23731 Southern Class As-11 USRA 0-8-0 Switcher Locomotive #1841

The United States Railroad Administration, USRA, was the Federal organization which ran and supervised the railroads in the US from 1918 till 1921. In an effort to streamline production of railroad materiel during the war years, the USRA standardized the designs of the most widely used locomotive classes. The most commonly used of the 12 base models was the 0-8-0. The USRA 0-8-0 became Southern's standard heavy-duty yard goat. Twenty were assigned to to the Southern during World War I and given the As-11 class. So successful was their performance that nearly fifty more were ordered between 1918 and 1926. The USRA 0-8-0s were among the last steam locomotives retired. All remained in service until the end of steam operation.
