BO 4-6-0 2000 - Baltimore & Ohio RR |
| Description: |
According to one B&O steam roster, this locomotive was built in 1901 by the Rhode Island Locomotive Works in Providence, RI, as a class B-18. A notation on the back of the photo has it as a B-18E class. Rhode Island Locomotive merged to form ALCO about the time this unit was built in 1901. Obviously this is a 1969 reprint from an original negative but the original was taken in 1938 with the day as unknown. Credit was given to Bruce D. Fales as photographer. |

This 4-6-0 ten wheeler was built by the Rhode Island Locomotive Works in August of 1901 as a cross-compound loco with the high pressure cylinder mounted on the right side and the low pressure cylinder on the left.

Rebuilt specs - 70" drivers, impressive 200 psi boiler pressure, 21x28" cylinders, engine weight of 173,400 lb and tractive effort of 30,000 lb. This is an Arthur B. Johnson photo |
