TCDD 56301 Class

From TrainSpottingWorld, for Rail fans everywhere

The Turkish State Railways (TCDD) 56301 Class is a class of 2-10-0 steam locomotives known as "Skyliners". They were built by Vulcan Iron Works of Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania. The 88 locomotives in this class were numbered 56301-88. The first arrived in 1947.

They were the first American-built locomotives ordered by TCDD, though they had acquired ex-USATC S200 Class (TCDD 46201 Class) and ex-USATC S160 Class (TCDD 45171 Class). This class had the largest boiler and firebox of any Turkish locomotive and were the only one fitted with mechanical stokers.

Two survive; 56375 at the Ankara Railway Museum and 56337 at the Çamlık Railway Museum.
