Maine Central Railroad Class L locomotives were intended for main line passenger service. They were of 4-4-0 wheel arrangement in the Whyte notation, or "2'B" in UIC classification. They were transferred to branch line passenger service as replaced by class N 4-6-0 locomotives beginning in 1899. Ten numbered 191 to 201 survived United States Railroad Administration operations to appear on a 1923 roster.
