BO 4-6-0 #1327 - Baltimore & Ohio
Title:  BO 4-6-0 #1327 - Baltimore & Ohio
Description:  Help! Good looking loco but a mystery. So far I have not been able to identify the builder of this ten wheel loco. It is similar but not identical to an 1896 B-15 class loco however the number range for the class ends at 1318 and class B-17 begins with 1328. Only one source mentioned a B-16 class but its numbers were 224-228 although B&O renumbered often. A crytpic comment next to the listing has "WV&Pitt 1890-92" but there is no record of a purchase from West Virgina Central & Pittsburgh. Can anyone help with this one? No photographer was listed and the date was given as the summer of 1912.

All had retired by 1934." The date is approximate.

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.
