Trains LIVE — Mikados — 3-29-2024 — As rail traffic expanded in the early 1900s, the 2-8-0 steam locomotive class had reached its apex. The railroads, however, needed more power, which meant expanding steam-generating capacity. More steam meant having a larger fire and firebox to hold it. Fireboxes became wider, moving behind the last driving wheel. This new weight was supported by a trailing truck — the 2-8-2 wheel arrangement.
The next installment in the Great American Steam Locomotives series talks about the 2-8-2 or Mikado class of locomotives. Today, Kevin Gilliam, Trains video producer, chats with us about the new video production. Our discussion dives into the origin of the class name, why the class was so popular, and where you can see a Mikado today.
Come along as Trains LIVE talks about Mikados.
Trains LIVE is a regular video program, recorded live and unscripted from Kalmbach Media. The series began in July 2022.
