whytetype =2-10-2 The USRA Heavy Santa Fe was a
USRA standard class ofsteam locomotive designed under the control of theUnited States Railroad Administration , the nationalized railroad system in theUnited States duringWorld War I . These locomotives were of2-10-2 wheel arrangement in theWhyte notation , or 1'E1' inUIC classification ; this arrangement was commonly named "Santa Fe" in theUnited States . At the time, the Santa Fe was the largest non-articulated type in common use, primarily in slowdrag freight duty in ore or coal service.A total of 175 of these locomotives were constructed under the auspices of the USRA. They went to the following railroads: The Pennsylvania Railroad locomotives were later refitted with the Pennsy's trademark
