Description:  Long and powerful are two words that describe this Alco-Schenectady 2-6-6-2 built in July of 1914 originally as Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh $704. . In 1932, it was added officially to the B&O roster as #7504. The loco lasted until April of 1951 when it was sold for scrap. That must have made a huge pile of scrap metal!

Description:  The massive Baltimore & Ohio 2-6-6-2 "Mallet Mogul" type steam locomotive #7527 was built by Alco-Brooks in May of 1918 originally as Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh #727 (serial #58480).

BO 2-6-6-2 #7535 - Baltimore & Ohio RR
Title:  BO 2-6-6-2 #7535 - Baltimore & Ohio RR
Description:  The B&O articulated #7535 sits with steam built up and a loaded tender, just waiting for its next orders. Although no information was listed on the photo, this very well may be East Salamanca, NY, where many of the 2-6-6-2's worked. Built by Alco-Brooks in 1918 for the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh RR, it fell under B&O control in 1930 with the takeover of BR&P. Specifics - class KK-4c, 57" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 23.5x32" set pf cylinders, 37x32" set of cylinders, engine weight of 445,000 lb, tractive effort of 75,112 lbs. All 55 locos in the class were retired by 1951. No photographer listed and the date has been arbitrarily set and it appears to be a later reprint..
