BO 2-8-8-4 #661 - Baltimore & Ohio
Description:
Massive brute built by Baldwin in 1944 for the Baltimore & Ohio RR. According to www.steamlocomotive.com, "the EM-1's were the last articulated steam locomotives built for the B&O. Actually, the B&O did not want the EM-1's. Instead they wanted diesels. However, because of restrictions imposed by the War Production Board, the EM-1s were delivered from Baldwin in 1944 (7600 - 7619) and 1945 (7620 - 7629). For this wheel arrangement, they were relatively modest in size, but very successful. Specs - EM-1 class, nee-7611, 64" drivers, impressive 235 psi boiler pressure, 24x32" cylinders, engine weight of 628,700 lb, impressive traction effort of 115,056 lb. The last of this class was retired in 1960. R.D. Patton photo

Description:
Massive and powerful, this articulated 2-8-8-4 Yellowstone type steam locomotive was the last steam to be built for the Baltimore & Onio in 1943.

It lasted until being scrapped in 1960. Specs - class EM-1, 64" drivers, impressive 235 psi boiler pressure, four 24x32" cylinders, massive engine weight of 628,700 lb, impressive tractive effort of 115,000 lb. Glenn H. Davis photo

BO 2-8-8-4 #679 - Baltimore & Ohio
Description:
Although Baltimore & Ohio wanted diesels instead of more steam locomotives, due to the War Production Board restrictions, the massive Yellowstones were built instead. Baldwin built this loco originally as BO #7629 (serial #71511) but it was renumbered late in its life to BO #679 in February of 1957. The loco was dropped from the roster in 1960 and presumed scrapped.

BO 2-8-8-4 #7600 - Baltimore & Ohio
Description:
Beautiful action shot taken by an unknown photographer of the massive B&O 2-8-8-4 Yellowstone type locomotive #7600. This was the first of 30 massive Yellowstones built by Baldwin although the B&O had wanted diesels instead. The War Production Board restricted diesel building so these were built instead. The loco was renumbered in 1956 to BO 650 and retired in 1960. Specs - EM-1 class, 64" drivers, impressive 235 psi boiler pressure, four 24x32" cylinders, massive engine weight of 628,700 lb, impressive tractive effort of 115,000 lb. No date, location or photographer was listed for this great photo.

BO 2-8-8-4 #7601 - Baltimore & Ohio
Description:
Massive and powerful are the two adjectives for this 2-8-8-4 Yellowstone type steam locomtoive built by Baldwin in 1944 as BO #7601 (serial #70063). The impressive loco sereved quite successfully until dieselization hit the roster. Even then, they were occasionally pulled back into action, even to head up a few passenger trains! What a sight that would have been! The loco was renumbered in 1956 to BO 651 and dropped from the roster in 1960. No photographer was listed for this photo.

BO 2-8-8-4 #7602 - Baltimore & Ohio
Description:
This massive brute, B&O 2-8-8-4 #7602, was one of the last articulated steam locomotives built in the US. Although B&O wanted diesels in 1944 but were forced by the war effort to order only steam, this massive locomotive served a desparate need for power to move coal in the West Virginia area. Built by Baldwin in 1944, the last of this class was retired in 1960. Specs - EM-1 class). 64" drivers, an impressive 235 psi boiler pressure, 24"x32" cylinders, engine weight of 628,700 lb and impressive tractive effort of 115,000 lb. No photographer, date or location was listed on the photo. Thanks to John Kernan (see comment below), the locaiton is New Castle, PA. Thanks John for your help!

Baltimore & Ohio RR 2-8-8-4 #7602
Description:
Like its other sister in the album, #7629, this massive 2-8-8-4 Yellowstone type locomotive was built by Baldwin in 1944. According to one source, B&O wanted more diesels but was stuck taking this due to the war limitations on engine construction. The class EM-1 unit sported 64" drivers, engine wt of a hefty 628,700 lb, developed 235 psi and had an overall engine+tender wheelbase of a whopping 112.5'. Max Miller was the photographer.

BO 2-8-8-4 #7603 - Baltimore & Ohio
Description:
Although not wanted by the B&O at first (diesels were their first choice), the War Production Board restricted them to ordering steam locomotives instead. Built by Baldwin in 1944, B&O 2-8-8-4 #7603 filled the need for power quite well. Along toward the last days of its life, it was renumbered to BO 653 in 1956 and then dropped from the roster in 1960 - presumed scrapped. No date, location or photographer was listed for this photo. If you recognize the location, please leave a comment.

Description:
Steaming up, coal loaded and ready to roll is Baltimore & Ohio 2-8-8-4 Yellowstone type steam locomotive #7609 built by Baldwin in 1944 (serial #70071). The impressive loco was not the first choice by B&O (they wanted diesels) but war restrictions forced these onto the B&O roster. They proved powerful and fairly reliable until diesels replaced them. The loco was renumbered in 1956 to BO #659 and the loco was eventually scrapped in 1960. No date, location or photographer was listed for this great photo.
