CO 0-8-0 #345 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Title:  CO 0-8-0 #345 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Description:  This Alco-Cooke 0-8-0 yard switcher was built in 1923 as Pere Marquette #1315, class C-13. No date was given and the location by R.D. Patton was listed as Ganley's Ridge, WV. I cannot find that location anywhere. Can anyone help with this one? Jonathan Spurlock has found Handley, WV, as having several of the landmarks in a couple of photos that were marked as Ganley's Ridge, so will use that location until someone knows exactly where Ganley's Ridge is.

Description:  Originally built as Hocking Valley #109 by Lima Locomotive Works in 1926, it now sits in a scrap line awaiting the scrapper's torch in an unidentified yard.

With Jonathan Spurlock's help (see comment below), I agree that the location probably is Richmond so have changed it accordingly. Thanks again, Jonathan!

CO 0-8-0 #227 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Title:  CO 0-8-0 #227 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Description:  Built by Alco in 1930 for the Chesapeake & Ohio, it now sits in a scrap line, face plate removed, in a location listed as Ganley's Ridge, WV, by the photographer R.D. Patton. For the life of me, I can't seem to find where that is. Does anyone know this location? No date was given but since the entire C-16 class was retired between 1954-57, I listed it as 1954. Jonathan Spurlock (see comment below) found Handley, WV, as a location that does seem to fit the background very closely so I have identified the location as Handley, WV.. Could Ganley's Ridge be one of the hills in the background?

Description:  Sadly this 1930 Alco built 0-8-0 yard switcher has seen its last days of service as it sits lined out in an unidentified yard. No date was given for the photo but since the entire class was retired between 1954-57, it would be in that range. Unknown photographer took this sad sight.
