Louisville and Nashville Class J-3

The Louisville and Nashville Class J-3 were a class of 2-8-2 "Mikado" type steam locomotives that were built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) and the Lima Locomotive Works for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad as both originals and copies of the USRA Light Mikados.
==History==
A total of 93 examples of what became the Louisville and Nashville Class J-3, with 75 examples (numbered 1518–1592) being built as copies of the USRA Light Mikados, and the remaining 18 examples (numbered 1500–1517) being built as originals of the USRA Light Mikados.
All 93 examples were delivered to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad after the class was constructed.
The entire class was retired and were all scrapped. Not a single example was preserved, thus rendering Louisville and Nashville Class J-3 extinct.
== Trivia ==
* Although the Louisville and Nashville Class J-3 were extinct, nine other USRA Light Mikados survive today, both Originals and Copies, those being Frisco No. 4003 at the Fort Smith Trolley Museum in Fort Smith, Arkansas, Frisco No. 4018 at the Sloss Furness in Birmingham, Alabama, Nickel Plate Road No. 587 which is awaiting an overhaul, Nickel Plate Road No. 624 at Hammond, Indiana, but is now being relocated to Headwaters Junction, Nickel Plate Road No. 639 in Miller Park at Bloomington, Illinois, Baltimore and Ohio No. 4500 at the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore, Maryland, Grand Trunk Western No. 4070 at Midwest Railway Preservation Society in Cleveland, Ohio, Union Pacific No. 2537 at Jefferson Park in Walla Walla, Washington, and Chicago and Illinois Midland No. 551 at the St. Louis Transportation Museum.
