BO 4-6-0 #2022 - Baltimore & Ohio |
Description: |
Here is another long lasting 4-6-0 ten wheeler steam locomtoie that served the Baltimore & Ohio for nearly 46 years. It was built by the Rhode Island Locomotive 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 again rebuilt with the addition of a superheater, piston valves and Baker valve gears. After nearly 46 years of service, the loco was scrapped in September of 1947. 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. |
