Alleghany Locomotives on the C&O in West Virginia

Name	Type	Comments	Date

Paul Gillette	General	I believe these are C&O class H-8 Allegheny 2-6-6-6 locomotives, not the N&W 2-6-6-4s as noted.	4/1/2010 10:43:12 PM

Jonathan Vincent	General	It says "Alleghany - type" on the card. As Paul said, these are C&O, not N&W. These were built by Lima, in Lima, OH. N&W's "A"s wer built by the N&W at Roanoke Shops. The two lines not only weren't related, they were competitors.	4/1/2011 3:25:48 PM
