On January 1 1956, the last full year of SP standard gauge steam, the railroad had 12 different wheel arrangements active. Why was this aged light Mogul among them? One big reason I found out from both Dan Ranger and another Western Division hogger is that their 63" drivers helped keep them out of dispatchers way while traversing the main lines.
