ABOUT THE PREMIER MONON USRA 4-6-2 PACIFIC STEAM UNIVERSITY LOCOMOTIVE SERIES

According to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, USRA locomotives were "the first successful standardization of American motive power" — and the only standard designs until the diesel era.

First appearing in the World War I period, the 4-6-2 Pacific was the favored mainline passenger engine in relatively level territory, so the USRA designs included light and heavy 4-6-2s. The heavy version, designed for trackage that allowed a heavier axle load, was similar in most major dimensions to the existing Pennsylvania K4s and Chesapeake & Ohio F-17 Pacifics. Both had been designed around 1913 and were considered powerful and fast locomotives for their time.

The Monon served both Bloomington, Indiana, and West Lafayette, Indiana, and it provided rail transportation to the football games. In 1927, and again in 1928, they painted two of their Pacific's in school colors for the annual Old Oaken Bucket game with each locomotive sporting the school name and graphics focused on the annual rivalry.
