CO 4-4-2 #286 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Title:  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!

CO 4-4-2 #286 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Title:  CO 4-4-2 #286 - Chesapeake & Ohio
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
