Virginia Central Railway #347
Title:  Virginia Central Railway #347
Description:  Built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in July of 1892 for the West Virginia Central & Pittsburg Railroad as their number #28, The locomotive was transferred over to the Western Maryland Railroad in 1906 being renumbered #347 and classified as an H3-c Consolidation. In 1929, the locomotive was sold to the Virginia Central Railway which kept the WM number #347. The locomotive was sidelined in 1938 and subsequently scrapped later that year due to the removal of 37 miles of track from a total of 38 miles ranging from Orange, Virginia, to West Fredericksburg, Virginia, which caused the locomotive to be surplus power to other, more powerful locomotives on the roster such as Ex: C&O 2-8-0 #901. This photograph shows #347 in the Fredericksburg, Virginia, yards shortly before the mainline was cut back to 1 mile and the engine was retired and scrapped. Month and year are correct. Exact day is an estimate.
