PRR 373, HH-1, 1947
Title:  PRR 373, HH-1, 1947
Description:  Coal Power. Here is an original photo by an unidentified photographer that was taken in Columbus, Ohio, on 10 October 1947. Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #373, an HH-1 (2-8-8-2) built by the American Locomotive Company as Norfolk & Western Railroad number "2000" during February of 1919, sold to the PRR and renumbered "373" in July of 1943, and retired in November of 1947 after 28 years of two-system service. This locomotive may have been involved in a wreck: the front of the smoke box is gone, as is part of the left cylinder assembly, and the pilot steps are bent back.

CO 2-8-8-2 #1558 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Title:  CO 2-8-8-2 #1558 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Description:  One of the original 25 built by Alco in 1924, this H-7 class "Chesapeake" type locomotive was able to pull 9,500 ton trains over the 113 mile run from Russell, Kentucky to Columbus, Ohio in 5 hours according to www.steamlocomotive.com. This wheel type soon replaced teh 2-10-4 and the 2-6-6-6 Alleghenies in the territory. A real power monster! Unfortunately no location, date or photographer credit was listed for this photo. Looks like West Virginia or Kentucky from the background.

DRGW 2-8-8-2 #3402 - Denver & Rio Grande Western
Title:  DRGW 2-8-8-2 #3402 - Denver & Rio Grande Western
Description:  What a powerful and massive locomotive - Denver and Reio Grande Western 2-8-8-2 #3402. Built by ALCo-Schenectady in December of 1912 as the mallet compound, DRG #1062, it was renumbered in 1924 after the DRGW re-organization to DRGW 3402. Later in 1943, it had a new boiler installed and the slide valves replaced by the piston variety. After serving for nearly 36 years, the massive loco was scrapped in August of 1948. What a pile of steel it would have made! Rebuilt specs - 57" drivers, 210 psi boiler pressure, 26x 40" high pressure cylinders, 32x57" low pressure cylinders, engine wt of 482,500 lb, massive tractive effort of 95,244 lb. The photo is from the Tom Klinger collection. No date was given so an apporimate one was used.
