There were 233 original USRA Heavy 2-8-2's built plus another 957 copies, covering 23 railroads. It was an extremely successful design. The USRA Heavy Mikados used pretty much the same running gear as the Light Mik's, but the boilers were 10 inches larger in diameter and they had larger cylinders as well. Tractive effort was about 10% higher for the heavy 2-8-2's.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs for the USRA Light Mikados, the USRA built 625 total, with 641 copies built after the USRA ended control.
