The Great Northern F-8 was a class of 125 steam locomotives of the 2-8-0 Consolidation type, built between 1901 and 1907 for the Great Northern Railway. Three builders shared the order: Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works, its corporate successor the American Locomotive Company, and Baldwin Locomotive Works. The F-8s pulled mostly freight across the Great Northern system, and some were rebuilt with larger cylinders and higher boiler pressure to raise their tractive effort. Retirements began as early as 1932 and the last was withdrawn in 1956 as the railroad turned to diesels. Nos. 1147 and 1246 survive, the first on display at Wenatchee, Washington, and the second at the Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie.
