Yellowstones

Only 72 Yellowstones were built (in five different classes). Each class of Yellowstone was a different design (except for the two classes owned by the DM&IR). The design was usually dictated by the specific needs of the railroad that received them. The first to have a Yellowstone built was the Northern Pacific who named the wheel arrangment after Yellowstone Park (a region serviced by the Northern Pacific).
