This is a MTH 20-3747-1 O U.S. Army 4-6-2 USRA Heavy Pacific Steam Locomotive #494 w/ PS3. During World War I, Uncle Sam nationalized the railroads when they proved unequal to the task of moving massive amounts of men and materiel for the war effort. The agency that ran the trains was the United States Railroad Administration, or USRA, and one of its chief accomplishments was the creation of 12 steam engine designs that lasted for decades. 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.
