Title:
BO 2-8-8-4 #666 - Baltimore & Ohio
Description:
Massive and powerful, this articulated 2-8-8-4 Yellowstone type steam locomotive was the last steam to be built for the Baltimore & Onio in 1943. Truthfully, the B&O really wanted diesels but governmental restraints forced the purchase of the EM-1 articulated steam locos. Originally built as BO #7616, it was renumbered in 1956. It lasted until being scrapped in 1960. Specs - class EM-1, 64" drivers, impressive 235 psi boiler pressure, four 24x32" cylinders, massive engine weight of 628,700 lb, impressive tractive effort of 115,000 lb. Glenn H. Davis photo
