BO 4-6-0 #2020 - Baltimore & Ohio |
| Description: |
Here is one long serving, dedicated Baltimore & Ohio steam locomotive. It was built by the Rhode Island Locomotibe 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. The B&O Shops later rebuilt as a simple expansion engine and reclassified as B-18a. The loco was rebuilt again with the addition of Walschaert valve gears and reclassed as B-18c. After nearly 52 long and dedicated years of service, the loco was scrapped in December of 1953. 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 |
