BO 2-8-8-0 #7314 - Baltimore & Ohio |
Description: |
This beautiful, massive machine was originally built by the Alco-Richmond plant in January of 1918 as Seaboard Air Line 2-8-8-2 #514. The loco was sold to the B&O in 1920 after Seaboard Air Line found the loco too much trouble. It was renumbered BO #7314. In 1923, the B&O Shops undertook to simplify the compound Mallet into a simple-articulated one, removed the trailing truck and reclassified BO 2-8-8-0 #7314 as EL-6a. With the advent of diesel, this massive machine was sold for scrap in July of 1950 after nearly 32 years of service. Simplified EL-6a specs - 63" drivers, 210 psi boiler pressure, four 25x32" cylinders, engine wt of 492,000 lb and impressive tractive effort of 108,000 lb. This is a Ralph G. Dunn photo. |

BO 2-8-8-0 #7302 - Baltimore & Ohio |
Description: |
This massive loco now appears to be sitting in the storage/scrap line at an unidentified locaiton - probably Grafton yards in West Virginia. This was originally built by Alco-Richmond in January of 1918 as Seaborad Air Line 2-8-8-2 #503. When the size and maintenance was too much of the SAL, they sold it to B&O in 1920 and renumbered BO 7302. In 1923, the B&O Shops undertook to rebuild it from a compound Mallet to simple-articulated,removed the trailing truck and reclassed BO 2-8-8-0 #7302 as EL-6a class. The loso was finally sold for scrap in August of 1950 after nearly 32 years of heavy service. Simplified EL-6a specs - 63" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, four 25x32" cylinders, engine wt of 492,000 lb and impressive tractive effort of 97,800 lb. No date, location or photographer was listed for this photo. |

BO 2-8-8-0 #7306 - Baltimore & Ohio |
Description: |
This massive powerhouse was caught sitting idle in the Grafton Yard in West Virgina awaiting its final sentence to be passed. Originally built in January of 1918 as Seaboard Air Line 2-8-8-2 #506, it proved to be too costly and time-consuming for the SAL to handle. They sold the loco asnd its sisters to the B&O in 1920. In 1923, the loco was rebuilt by the B&O Shops from a compound to a simple-articulated loco, removbed the trailing truck and reclassed BO 2-8-8-0 #7306 as EL-6a. After nearly 32 years of dedicated service, the loco was sold for scrap in May of 1950. Simplified EL-6a specs - 63" drivers, 210 psi boiler pressure, four 25x32" cylinders, engine wt of 492,000 lb and impressive tractive effort of 108,000 lb. This is a photo by Harold Buckley Jr. |

Description: |
Not much info on this loco but it appears that it was rebuilt by the B&O shops between 1923-29 from an original 1904 Alco 2-8-0 Consolidation. The entire L-1 and L-1a class was retired by 1959. David Graeff photo |
