Information about the Prototype
The United States Railroad Administration (USRA) was establis-
hed in 1917 by the American government as a governing autho-
rity for the many private American railroads in response to the
special demands made on the railroads in World War I. As one
of its many tasks, this authority defined the features of different
standard locomotive classes, among them the general-purpose
“Mikado” with its 2-8-2 wheel arrangement. The name “Mikado”
comes from a Japanese steam locomotive class that was built
for the first time in 1897 with this wheel arrangement. Today the
name “Mikado” is a synonym for steam locomotives with this
wheel arrangement.
The concept of these USRA standard locomotives was continu-
ed and refined by many of the privately owned railroads after
the end of World War I and the accompanying dismantling of
the USRA. The Mikado locomotives thereby became a part of
the daily railroad scene in the USA in the first half of the 20th
century. Only the arrival of the diesel motor in railroading circles
signaled the end of this steam locomotive design that is so
beloved among railroaders.
Informationen zum Vorbild
Bedingt durch die besonderen Anforderungen an das Eisen-
bahnwesen im 1. Weltkrieg wurde von den USA im Jahre 1917
die United States Railroad Administration (USRA) als übergeord-
nete Behörde für die vielen privaten amerikanischen Eisenbahn-
linien gegründet. Diese Vereinigung definierte als eine der vielen
Aufgaben auch die Merkmale diverser Standard-Lokbaureihen,
zu denen auch die Mehrzwecklokomotive „Mikado“ mit der
Achsfolge 1-D-1 (Radfolge 2-8-2) gehörte. Der Name „Mikado“
stammt von einer japanischen Dampflokomotiv-Baureihe ab,
die 1897 zum ersten Mal mit dieser Achsfolge realisiert wurde.
Heute steht der Name „Mikado“ als Synonym für Dampflokomo-
tiven mit dieser Achsfolge.
Das Konzept dieser Standard-Lokomotiven der USRA wurde
auch nach dem Ende des 1. Weltkrieges und der anschließenden
Auflösung der USRA von den meisten privaten Eisenbahnge-
sellschaften weiter gepflegt. Dadurch gehörten die Mikado-
Lokomotiven zum typischen Erscheinungsbild der Eisenbahn
in den USA in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Erst der
Siegeszug des Dieselmotors sorgte für ein Ende dieser bis heute
unter Eisenbahnern sehr geschätzten Dampflok-Bauart.
