Title:
BO 2-8-8-4 #7623 - Baltimore & Ohio
Description:
Built by Baldwin near the end of their steam loco production was this B&O 2-8-8-4 Yellowstone type steam locootive #7623 (serial #71505) in June of 1945. It was powerful and reliable even though the B&O had wanted diesels instead but were fored by the War Production Board to take these locos. It was powerful enought to pull long drags of coal and freight cars and yet nimble enough to fill in a few times for passenger service. The loco was renumbered in 1956 to BO 673 to make room for new diesels. The final straw was being dropped from the roster in 1960 and scrapped. No date, location or photographer was listed for this nice view of a once powerful and massive locomotive.
