== History ==
During the days of steam, the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railway (Nickel Plate Road) needed a new class of steam locomotive that could haul freight trains at fast speeds, in response to this, the American Locomotive Company, who was insisting on designing a locomotive class for the United States Railroad Administration (USRA) had went back to the drawing board to refine the design. Enter the Nickel Plate Road Class H-6a. A total of 10 of these locomotives were built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) and were numbered 601-610.
Withdrawal of the Class occurred and the last engine was out of service, they were all cut up between 1940 and 1950.
