Maine Central class N Type and origin Reference:[1] Power type Steam Builder ALCO Build date 1899–1906 Total produced 15
Maine Central Railroad Class N locomotives were intended for main line passenger service. They were of 4-6-0 wheel arrangement in the Whyte notation , or "2'C" in UIC classification . All were built at the Schenectady Locomotive Works which became the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) in 1901. They replaced earlier class L 4-4-0 locomotives beginning in 1899. They were transferred to branch line passenger service as replaced by class C 4-6-2 locomotives beginning in 1907. Most were scrapped during the Great Depression and none survived World War II .[1]
