==Steam locomotive types== The USRA developed designs for [[0-6-0]] and [[0-8-0]] [[switcher locomotive]]s, [[2-6-6-2]] and [[2-8-8-2]] [[Mallet locomotive]]s, and both light and heavy versions of the [[2-8-2]], [[2-10-2]], [[4-6-2]], and [[4-8-2]] types. The light versions were designed with an [[axle load]] of 54,000 lb (24,500 kg) permitting usage on the vast majority of railroads, while the heavy versions were designed to a maximum axle load of 60,000 lb (27,200 kg) for lines with more heavily constructed track. The U.S.R.A. also distributed [[Russian locomotive class Ye|2-10-0 Decapods of Russian design]] to railroads under its control. ===USRA 0-6-0=== 255 of the [[USRA 0-6-0]] design were built, as well as many copies. ===USRA 0-8-0=== 175 of the [[USRA 0-8-0]] design were built, and it was copied extensively thereafter. ===USRA Light 2-8-2 "Mikado"=== 614 of the [[USRA Light Mikado]] type were constructed, making it the most populous USRA type. ===USRA Heavy 2-8-2 "Mikado"=== 233 of the [[USRA Heavy Mikado]]s were built. ===USRA Light 2-10-2 "Santa Fe"=== 94 [[USRA Light Santa Fe]] locomotives were constructed. ===USRA Heavy 2-10-2 "Santa Fe"=== 175 [[USRA Heavy Santa Fe]] locomotives were built. ===USRA Light 4-6-2 "Pacific"=== 106 [[USRA Light Pacific]]s were constructed. ===USRA Heavy 4-6-2 "Pacific"=== 20 [[USRA Heavy Pacific]]s were built. ===USRA Light 4-8-2 "Mountain"=== 47 of the [[USRA Light Mountain]] type were built. ===USRA Heavy 4-8-2 "Mountain"=== 15 [[USRA Heavy Mountain]]s were constructed. ===2-6-6-2=== 30 of the [[USRA 2-6-6-2]] type were built. ===2-8-8-2=== 106 of the [[USRA 2-8-8-2]] locomotives were constructed. The [[Norfolk and Western Railway]], in particular, continued building this type after the USRA period, developing and modernising it over time, as its Class Y. A N&W Y6B was the last conventional freight-hauling steam locomotive built in the United States.
