Historical Significance of the Buffalo Loco

Constructed by the Rogers Locomotive & Machine Works in 1868, the Buffalo-class locomotives played a pivotal role in the Central Pacific's ambitious transcontinental endeavors. Known for its powerful 4-6-0 configuration, this steam locomotive was designed to tackle the steep grades of California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains. With 18” x 24” cylinders and 57-inch drivers, the Buffalo produced over 13,000 pounds of tractive effort, making it a symbol of strength in late 19th-century railroading.
