CO 4-6-4 #304 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Title:  CO 4-6-4 #304 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Description:  Since nothing was marked on the back of the photo but the photo credit P.C. Studios, this may be a photo of #304 being built by Baldwin in 1941. Can anyone shed some light on whether this would be at the Eddystone plant as I arbitrarily have chosen to list it?
