CO 2-10-4 #3030 - Chesapeake & Ohio |
| Description: |
Beautiful original sepia toned action shot of Chesapeake & Ohio 2-10-4 #3030 doing what it does best - hauling a long drag of coal cars. Built by Lima in 1930, these mighty machines ran from Russell, Kentucky up through Ohio to Toledo for most of their career, a few ending up in eastern Virginia. Meat and potatoes for this mighty class were 160 loaded cars of coal comprising a trailing load of 13,500 tons. Unfortunately, according to one source this class rode roughly and pounded the track to the point that a special gang stood by at the bottom of one long grade to repair the damage. Specs - serial #7546, class T-1, 69" drivers, impressive 260 psi boiler pressure, 29x34" cylinders, massive engine weight of 566,000 lb, impressive tractive effort of 91,584. The class was retired between 1952-53. No date or location given for the photo. B.F. Cutler photo |

C&O 2-10-4 #3035 - Chesapeake & Ohio RR |
| Description: |
Nice looking 1930 Lima built Texas type 2-10-4 locomotive sitting in the Russell, KY, yard approximately a year after being delivered for heavy service between Russell, KY, and Toledo, OH. According to www.steamlocomotive. com "The Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad designed a new Class of freight locomotive to satisfy its needs for motive power. They tested an Erie Berkshire then basically stretched the Erie design adding one set of drivers, creating a 2-10-4 that was both powerful and fast. The C&O ordered forty of it new design "Texas" type locomotives from the Lima Locomotive Works in 1930. These locomotives were designated as Class T-1 and were assigned road number 3000 through number 3039. They had 69" diameter drivers, 29" x 34" cylinders, a 265 psi boiler pressure, exerted 93,345 pounds of tractive effort and each weighed 566,000 pounds. The locomotives were equipped with a trailing truck booster that exerted 15,275 pounds of tractive effort. This basic design was used for most 2-10-4s constructed after 1930." R.W. Legg photo |
