CO 2-8-8-2 #1558 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Description:
One of the original 25 built by Alco in 1924, this H-7 class "Chesapeake" type locomotive was able to pull 9,500 ton trains over the 113 mile run from Russell, Kentucky to Columbus, Ohio in 5 hours according to www.steamlocomotive.com. This wheel type soon replaced teh 2-10-4 and the 2-6-6-6 Alleghenies in the territory. A real power monster! Unfortunately no location, date or photographer credit was listed for this photo. Looks like West Virginia or Kentucky from the background.

CO 4-4-2 #286 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Description:
This 1906 Alco built "Atlantic" type locomotive rolls through Peru, Indiana on this unspecified winter day. Not one of the better designs for the mountainous part of the C&O, it must have worked well in the flatlands of Indiana. Max Miller is credited with the photo. Thirteen of the 20 locos in the group remained in use unitl 1949 - tribute to their abilities. Always like posting photos from my home state!

C&O 4-6-2 #471 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Description:
Built by Alco in 1914 as an F-17 class "Pacific", this locomotive had the distinction of carrying the name "George Washington" while heading up passenger service on the C&O. It originally had 69" drivers and developed 185 psi boiler pressure but after a rebuild in 1934, it was given 74" drivers and could develop a 200 psi boiler pressure. As the way with the rest of steam, it was scrapped by 1952. A Forrest Trittenbach photo. With the help of Mike Woodruff (see comment below), the location is the Icy City engine terminal. Date is approximate.

This example of the F-19 class shines in the sunlight, evidence of a well maintained engine for passenger service. Unfortunately no information was given as to the location, date or photographer.

CO 2-10-4 #3030 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Description:
Beautiful original sepia toned action shot of Chesapeake & Ohio 2-10-4 #3030 doing what it does best - hauling a long drag of coal cars. Built by Lima in 1930, these mighty machines ran from Russell, Kentucky up through Ohio to Toledo for most of their career, a few ending up in eastern Virginia. Meat and potatoes for this mighty class were 160 loaded cars of coal comprising a trailing load of 13,500 tons. Unfortunately, according to one source this class rode roughly and pounded the track to the point that a special gang stood by at the bottom of one long grade to repair the damage. Specs - serial #7546, class T-1, 69" drivers, impressive 260 psi boiler pressure, 29x34" cylinders, massive engine weight of 566,000 lb, impressive tractive effort of 91,584. The class was retired between 1952-53. No date or location given for the photo. B.F. Cutler photo

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

Here is 1947 Alco Berkshire (C&O preferred the name "Kanawha" instead). It was a class K-4 built along the pattern of the Nickel Plate & Pere Marquette Bershires which were so successful. It had 69" drivers, developed a boiler pressure of 245 psi, and had 69,368 lb tractive force. Looks newly delivered like another loco in this album. Date is approximate. Forrest W. Trittenbach photo

CO 4-6-4 #491
Description:
Fine example of the craftsmanship of the C&O shops in 1947. The loco was originally built by Alco-Richmond in 1926 as a 4-6-2 but rebuilt by the C&O shops in 1947 as a streamlined 4-6-4 Hudson with a new classification of L-1. IMHO, one of the finest streamlined steam locos ever built. The photo is from the C.W. Jernstrom collection.

Description:
Massive Lima built articulated locomotive so suited for long coal train drags. According to www.Steamlocomotive.com "It should also be noted that the Alleghenies were some of the most powerful steam locomotives ever built. At 40 MPH they could generate 7,500 HP. This power was only exceeded by the PRR Q-2 Class (7,987HP). By contrast the UP Big Boy could generate a maximum of 6,200 drawbar HP." Specifics - H-8 class, 67" drivers, impressive 260 psi boiler pressure, 22.5x33" cylinders, engine weight of 771,300 lb, massive tractive effort of 110,211 lb, scrapped between 1952-56. Arthur B.

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. Fifteen more planned for construction were postponed, then cancelled because of a coal strike during critical months. Don Black notes too that the traditional circular Baldwin builder's plate was replaced by a pyramidal form."
