English: Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark
United States Railroad Administration Locomotive Atlantic Coast Line Class P-5-A 4-6-2 No. 1504 1919 During the World-War Emergency, American railroads were placed under the control of the United States Railroad Administration (USRA) to facilitate construction, operation, and maintenance. All new steam locomotives ordered during this period were built to one of twelve standard designs developed by a committee composed of USRA, railroad, and locomotive-builder representatives. This family of locomotives, ranging from 0-6-0 to 2-8-8-2 in size, incorporated the best proven features of the day and was the first successful standardization of American motive power. Although the USRA period lasted only three years, locomotives continued to be built around these basic designs for another decade. ACL 1504, built by American Locomotive Co. Richmond Works, is a "Light Pacific," the most common USRA passenger design. It was in service on ACL for 30 years, and has survived in almost original condition.Español: Hito Histórico Ingeniería Mecánica

Todas las nuevas locomotoras de vapor ordenados durante este período se construyeron usando uno de los doce diseños estándar desarrollados por un comité compuesto por USRA, ferrocarril, y los representantes de las constructores de las locomotoras. Esta familia de locomotoras, que van desde el 0-6-0 a 2-8-8-2 en tamaño, incorpora las mejores características probadas del día y fue el primer éxito de estandardización de locomotoras en América. Aunque el período de USRA duró sólo tres años, locomotoras continuaron siendo construidas en torno a estos diseños básicos para otra década. ACL 1504, construido por American Locomotive Co. Richmond Works, es una «Ligero Pacífico,» el diseño más común de trens pasajeros de USRA. Estuvo en servicio en la ACL durante 30 años, y ha sobrevivido en condiciones casi originales. |
