Consolidation

The name "Consolidation" was given by the Lehigh and Mahanoy Railroad, the first company that has ordered the new 2-8-0 engine. The design was a heavy freight locomotive from its inception, in 1866. The 2-8-0s' forte was starting and moving 'impressive loads at unimpressive speeds', and its versatility gave the class its longevity.

Trivia
