CO 4-4-2 #281 - Chesapeake & Ohio |
| Description: |
Built by Alco-Schenectady in 1903, this 4-4-2 "Atlantic type" locomotive was one of only 20 that were on the C&O roster but they did hold on for decades with thirteen of them remaining in use until 1949. This one is caught in my Hoosier state servicing Richmond, IN. Specs - class A-16, 73" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 22x26" cylinders, engine weight of 173,000 lb and tractive effort of 27,073. The class was rebuilt in 1920's with reduced boiler pressure but increased cylinder size. Net effect was the tractive effort remained largely the same. R.W. Legg photo |

Here is another Forrest Trittenbach photo of an early C&O "Atlantic" type locomotive. Built by Alco Richmond in 1905, it was an A-16 class and rebuilt sometime in the 1920's. It had high-stepping 73" drivers and developed 200 psi boiler pressure. |

Here is the 3rd 1906 Alco-Richmond "Atlantic" type locomotive in the album. Again it was a class A-16 with 73" drivers and 200 psi boiler pressure. This is a Forrest Trittenbach photo. No location or date were given so arbitrary ones were used for posting. |

CO 4-4-2 #286 - Chesapeake & Ohio |
| Description: |
This 1906 Alco built "Atlantic" type locomotive rolls through Peru, Indiana on this unspecified winter day. Not one of the better designs for the mountainous part of the C&O, it must have worked well in the flatlands of Indiana. Max Miller is credited with the photo. Thirteen of the 20 locos in the group remained in use unitl 1949 - tribute to their abilities. Always like posting photos from my home state! |

| Description: |
Another Hoosier loco! This 1906 Alco-Richmond built 4-4-2 "Atlantic type" locomotive poses next to the elevated gate tower in downtown Hammond, IN. This loco was one of only twenty 4-4-2 Atlantics to ever appear on the C&O roster but they did hold on for decades with thirteen of them remaining in use until 1949. Specs - class A-16, 73" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 21x26" cylinders, engine weight of 173,000 lb and tractive effort of 27,073. The class was rebuilt in 1920's with reduced boiler pressure but increased cylinder size. Net effect was the tractive effort remained largely the same. Happy to be able to post a C&O loco serving my Hoosier state!Arthur B. Johnson photo |
