BO 0-10-0 #950 - Baltimore & Ohio
Title:  BO 0-10-0 #950 - Baltimore & Ohio
Description:  Two of the 1914 Baldwin Santa Fe's - 6009 (serial #41701) and 6030 - were converted to mighty ten-wheel switcher/pusher engines at the B&O company's shops in the mid-1920s. The modfications entailed much more than simply removing each truck. Indeed, the only dimensions that remained the same were the cylinder volume, driver diameter, and wheelbase. A new boiler shorter by 25% and pressed to a higher degree provided the steam from water heated in a smaller firebox. Axle loading increased, a useful change in heavy switcher. Specs - 58" drivers, 225 psi boiler pressure, 30x32" cylinders, engine weight of 349,500 lb, impressive tractive effort of 94,966 lb. This 8x10 photo might possibly be an original B&O builder's photo but not stamped with the B&O logo as most are.

BO 4-6-2 #5320 - Baltimore & Ohio
Title:  BO 4-6-2 #5320 - Baltimore & Ohio
Description:  Beautiful newly built 4-6-2 Pacific stands outside the Baltimore & Ohio Mount Clare shops where it was built in 1928. The class before B&O #5320 was the Presidental P-7 class built by Baldwin in 1927. This was a powerful fleet of 20 passenger engines named after US Presidents in order, beginning with #5300 President Washington. #5320, however, was built by the B&O shops at Mt Clare, Maryland, with some interesting difference such as having Caprotti valve gear and a watertube boiler and classified as the only P9 loco. It carried the name "President Cleveland" to take its place in the Presidental line up. In 1947, it was rebuilt to conform to the others of the P7 class. Unknown photographer - possibly a B&O builder photo.

BO 4-6-4 #5047 - Baltimore & Ohio
Title:  BO 4-6-4 #5047 - Baltimore & Ohio
Description:  This appears to be an original builder's photo of the 4-6-4 Hudson #5047 built by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad shops. The B&O shops at Mount Clare built four unique Hudsons. The first was a conversion and the other three were built from the ground up. Each of these locomotives was a different and unique design. The first Hudson was built in 1933 and was a conversion of a Class P-1c, number 5047 (seen here in its original sepia color) done at Mt. Clare in Baltimore, MD. This locomotive was given Class V-1 designation and had 74" drivers, 21.5 x 28 cylinders and weighed 355,000 lbs and had a tractive effort of 52,000 lbs. This locomotive was used successfully on the Cumberland, Pittsburgh and Akron divisions and was retired in 1950.
