SOME HISTORY ON THE 0-10-0 LOCOMOTIVE:

The 0-10-0 was not very popular in the United States and North America in general and probably fewer than seventy of this type were constructed. For switching work, large 0-8-0 locomotives were preferred, and when more than four driven axles were required, the preference was for articulated locomotives such as the 0-6-6-0 and 0-8-8-0 Mallet engines. On mainlines, a 2-10-0 with the added stability of its leading truck, or a 2-10-2 or 2-10-4 with room for larger fireboxes, were preferred.

The first 0-10-0 in the United States was built to provide service on Madison Hill which, at 5.89%, has the steepest standard gauge grade in the country. It was a tank locomotive, designed in 1868 by Reuben Wells for the Jeffersonville, Madison & Indianapolis Railroad and named for its designer. The Reuben Wells is on display at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. It is 35 ft (10,668 mm) long and weighs 55 tons.

Later 0-10-0 versions were delivered in 1891 to the St. Clair Tunnel Company. The next were a series of 21 locomotives for the NYC and its subsidiaries for hump yard work. Others included seven owned by the IC, fifteen byy the C&O, two by B&O, and four, the heaviest built, for the DM&IR.
