CO 4-4-2 #286 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Description:
Another Hoosier loco! This 1906 Alco-Richmond built 4-4-2 "Atlantic type" locomotive poses next to the elevated gate tower in downtown Hammond, IN. This loco was one of only twenty 4-4-2 Atlantics to ever appear on the C&O roster but they did hold on for decades with thirteen of them remaining in use until 1949. Specs - class A-16, 73" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 21x26" cylinders, engine weight of 173,000 lb and tractive effort of 27,073. The class was rebuilt in 1920's with reduced boiler pressure but increased cylinder size. Net effect was the tractive effort remained largely the same. Happy to be able to post a C&O loco serving my Hoosier state!Arthur B. Johnson photo

This appears to be an builder's photo of the Baldwin built 2-6-6-2 Mallet. According to www.steamlocomotive.com "The Chessie went to Baldwin in 1949 to buy the last ten steam locomotives the Eddystone plant would erect for any US railroad.

Don Black notes too that the traditional circular Baldwin builder's plate was replaced by a pyramidal form." Specs - class H-6, 56" drivers, 210 psi boiler pressure, 22x32" high pressure cylinders, 35x32" (2) low pressure cylinders, engine weight of 434,900 lb, tractive effort of 70,773 lb.

CO 2-10-2 #2979 - Cheaspaeak & Ohio
Description:
The Pere Marquette Railway bought fifteen "Santa Fe" type locomotives from the American Locomotive Company in 1918. The locomotives were designated as Class SF and carried road numbers 1101 through 1113. They had 64" diameter drivers, 29" x 32" cylinders, a 210 psi boiler pressure and they exerted 77,059 pounds of tractive effort and each weighed 398,000 pounds. These 2-10-2s were conveyed to the C&O in 1947 and were renumbered with C&O numbers 2975 through 2989. At 324,000 pounds they were among the lightest and had a relatively small boiler and cylinder size. Also of note were the leading and trailing wheels, at 33" in diameter they were about 10 inches smaller most in use. C.W. Jernstrom photo

CO 4-8-4 #614 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Description:
Interesting loco built by Lima nn June of 1948. Massive, powerful and commanding to say the least and a loco with nine lives. The unit would continue long after the other Greenbriers (4-8-4's to the C&O) were retired. It was a test loco for the American Coal Enterprise as they tried developing a coal burning steam locomotive that could compete with diesel loco on a>cost basis. It also served as the Chessie Safety Special. This photo by Arthur B. Johnson.

C&O 4-8-4 #612 - Chesapeake & Ohio RR
Description:
Here stands one of the finest examples of a 4-8-4 ever built by Lima, delivered to the C&O in 1948. Railroad historian Eugene Huddleston noted the skepticism concerning this order (for the last 4-8-4's): "Simply amazing is the expenditure of so much money to produce a "state of the art" locomotive in the waning days of steam. It seems nothing was sacrificed to equip the new Greenbriers with the latest features and best appliances. Enthusiasm was still the word in 1947, as this writer well recalls from being told about the order for five more Greenbriers from Lima Locomotive Works by locomotive engineer Vince Hiltz." Specifics - J-3a class, 74" drivers, 255 psi boiler pressure, 27.5x30" cylinders, engine weight of 482,200 lb, tractive effort of 66,453 lb. Jim Scribbins photo
