The sum of this design was the 4-6-2 USRA Pacific. The USRA designation for light and heavy locomotives was a function of the track's ability to withstand weight. Excessive axle weight could damage the rails, loosen fastenings, and also cause damage to the locomotive. The USRA deemed a maximum of 54,000 pounds per axle as a light locomotive.. For the first time in N scale In 2023, we are building our third production run of USRA Heavy and Light Pacifics. There were 20 original Heavy Pacifics built in 1919 for the USRA program, and all 20 went to Erie Railroad. From 1923, numerous copies were built, and many railroads operated similar locomotives.

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.. Also of note were the two classes by the United States Railroad Administration (USRA) during World War I; the 4-6-2A (the light Pacific with 55,000 pounds per driver axle) and 4-6-2B (the heavy Pacific with 60,000 pound per driver axle). While a handful of both examples were built for various roads ultimately few were manufactured.
