CO 2-8-4 #2748 - Chesepeake & Ohio
Title:  CO 2-8-4 #2748 - Chesepeake & Ohio
Description:  Excellent example of a 1945 Lima built 2-8-4 Kanawha (C&O's name for Berkshires). In my humble opinion, this is a far sleeker styling than the earlier Alco built Kanawhas. Specs - K-4 class, 69" drivers, impressive 245 psi boiler pressue, 26x34" cylinders, engine weight of 460,000 lb, tractive effort of 69.368 lb. No locaiton, date or photographer listed for the photo.
