What steam locomotive wheel arrangement ran on the Frisco River Division from Saint Louis ,MO to Memphis TN in the steam era. I think 4-8-2s is the answer.
During Between August 1940 and Aug 1941, the Frisco west Shop forces built 5 Hudsons, 1060, 1061, 1063, 1067, & 1068, for service on the Oklahoman and the Memphian. The Sunnyland was in the hands of one of the 1040-class 4-6-2’s. During the war years the light USRA Mikados handled through freights, and the local work was in the hands of the 1200 and 1306-class 2-8-0’s and the newer 4-6-0’s. The Frisco-built 1350-class 2-8-2’s began working during 1943-1946 period. It wasn’t until the transition-era that the 1500’s began to appear on The Sunnyland and Memphian, and the 4100’s began to handle through freights.
