BO 4-6-2 #5061 - Baltimore & Ohio |
| Description: |
Nice roster shot of Baltimore 4-6-2 #5061 as it sat in the Cumberland yard with steam up and waiting for its next assignment. Baldwin built this Pacific type steam loco in September of 1911 originally as B&O #2146 (serial #36850, class P-1). It was rebuilt to P-1aa class. In 1918, it was rebuilt again, reclassified as P-1d and renumbered to B&O #5061. After nearly 42 years of service, the loco was unceremoniously sold for scrap in December of 1953. This is a Max Miller photo now in my rr collection. |
