PRR 373, HH-1, 1947
Title:  PRR 373, HH-1, 1947
Description:  Coal Power. Here is an original photo by an unidentified photographer that was taken in Columbus, Ohio, on 10 October 1947. Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #373, an HH-1 (2-8-8-2) built by the American Locomotive Company as Norfolk & Western Railroad number "2000" during February of 1919, sold to the PRR and renumbered "373" in July of 1943, and retired in November of 1947 after 28 years of two-system service. This locomotive may have been involved in a wreck: the front of the smoke box is gone, as is part of the left cylinder assembly, and the pilot steps are bent back.

CO 2-8-8-2 #1558 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Title:  CO 2-8-8-2 #1558 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Description:  One of the original 25 built by Alco in 1924, this H-7 class "Chesapeake" type locomotive was able to pull 9,500 ton trains over the 113 mile run from Russell, Kentucky to Columbus, Ohio in 5 hours according to www.steamlocomotive.com. This wheel type soon replaced teh 2-10-4 and the 2-6-6-6 Alleghenies in the territory. A real power monster! Unfortunately no location, date or photographer credit was listed for this photo. Looks like West Virginia or Kentucky from the background.

NW 2-8-8-2 #2028 - Norfolk & Western
Title:  NW 2-8-8-2 #2028 - Norfolk & Western
Description:  The crew members hanging out of the engineer's window are dwarfed by the mass of steel comprising the locomotive. Alco-Schenectady built this massive 2-8-8-2 Chesepeake type steam locomotive in May of 1919 as Norfolk & Western #2028 (serial #61096, class Y-3a). Many of this class were sold to other railroads during WW II but #2028 stayed with the N&W its entire life. After 39 years of heavy hauling, the massive loco met up with the scrapper's torch in February of 1958. it would have made one HUGE pile of scrap steel! Specs - 58" drivers, super impressive 270 psi boiler pressure, 25x32" high pressure cylinders, 39x32" low pressure cylinders, massive engine wt of 539,000 lb and equally massive tractive force of 114,154 lb. No date, location or photographer was listed for the photo so an approximate date and location were used to post the photo.
