| Here is a rare B&O steam locomotive - 1 of only 4 homeshops built Hudson that the B&O had. This was the last of four that was built and a very streamlined, plain looking loco. Each of the previous Hudsons were experimental and unique. Since B&O did not order any, their experiments must not have proven successful. According to www.steamlocomotive.com, was used in passenger service west of Cumberland, MD and lasted until 1950. Specs - V-4 class, 80" drivers, 22.5 x 29 cylinders, weighed 369,000 lbs with a tractive effort of 52,000 lbs. Unknown photographer. |
