This is the master roster list for the C&S I use for modeling purposes. It includes all the narrow gauge locomotives and Standard gauge locomotives that made it to the 1906 system classification. It does not include locomotives that made it to the C&S but were gone by 1906. If you have any information I have missed or would like to contribute some additional information, feel free to comment on this page. Be sure to check out the book "The Colorado Road" by F. Hol Jr. Wagner if you want even more information on this topic.
Reading the C&S Classification system
In 1906, the C&S started using a system used by the ICC (Interstate Commerce Commision) to classify the locomotives. A letter indicated the arrangement of wheels, and a number indicated number of driven axles. A second letter at the end was used to indicate different classes of that type, Eg, C-3E was a Ten Wheeler of the 5th type the railroad had. A number after the 2nd letter indicated a similar class that was added later. Eg. C-3H1 was a batch of locomotives ordered after C-3H that was similar but not identical.
Letters and their meanings
"A" : No pilot or trailing wheels (Eg 0-4-0 or 0-6-0)
"B": One leading axle (Eg 2-6-0 or 2-8-0)
"C": Two leading axles (Eg 4-6-0, 4-4-0)
"D": One trailing axle (Eg 0-4-2, not used by the C&S)
"E": One leading axle, one trailing axle (Eg 2-8-2, 2-10-2)
"F": 2 leading axles, one trailing axle (Eg 4-6-2)
"G": 2 leading axles, 2 trailing axles (Eg 4-8-4, not used by the C&S)
