Title:
CO 2-6-6-2 #1527 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Description:
Built by Alco-Schenectady in 1919, this is one of the last and lighter weight 2-6-6-2's ordered by C&O. According to www.steamlocomotive.com, this series of lighter weight 2-6-6-2 Mallets were not well received by C&O because "the C&O's requirements had outstripped the 2-6-6-2 arrangement." Specs - H-5 class, 57" drivers, 225 psi boiler pressure (later dropped back to 210), 23x32" high pressure cylinders, 35x32" low pressure cylinders, engine weight of 448,000 lb, tractive effort of impressive 79,336 lb. P.C. Studios photo credit but no date or location given. Thanks to Robert Maynard (see comment below), the location is the C&O Peach Creek Yard in Peach Creek, WV. Thanks, Robert, for your help! WV

BO 2-6-6-2 #7504 - Baltimore & Ohio
Description:
Long and powerful are two words that describe this Alco-Schenectady 2-6-6-2 built in July of 1914 originally as Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh $704. . In 1932, it was added officially to the B&O roster as #7504. The loco lasted until April of 1951 when it was sold for scrap. That must have made a huge pile of scrap metal! Original specs - 57" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressuer, 23.5x37" high pressure cylinders, 37x32" low pressure cylinders, engine wt of 429,000 lb and an impressive 80,000 lb tractive force.

Description:
The massive Baltimore & Ohio 2-6-6-2 "Mallet Mogul" type steam locomotive #7527 was built by Alco-Brooks in May of 1918 originally as Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh #727 (serial #58480). After being absorbed into the B&O roster, it was renumbered B&O #7527 as seen in this photo. The loco was especially built for slow drags of long strings of coal cars and performed well doing so.

Specs = 57" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 23.5x32 and 37x32" cylinders, engine weight of 437,000 lb, tractive effort of 80,000 lb. No photographer or exact date in 1948 was given for the photo.

BO 2-6-6-2 #7535 - Baltimore & Ohio RR
Description:
The B&O articulated #7535 sits with steam built up and a loaded tender, just waiting for its next orders. Although no information was listed on the photo, this very well may be East Salamanca, NY, where many of the 2-6-6-2's worked. Built by Alco-Brooks in 1918 for the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh RR, it fell under B&O control in 1930 with the takeover of BR&P. Specifics - class KK-4c, 57" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 23.5x32" set pf cylinders, 37x32" set of cylinders, engine weight of 445,000 lb, tractive effort of 75,112 lbs. All 55 locos in the class were retired by 1951. No photographer listed and the date has been arbitrarily set and it appears to be a later reprint..

MILW 2-6-6-2 #9104, (Chicago, Milwaukee St Paul & Pacific)
Description:
This 1912 Alco-Schenectady Mallet Mogul is an impressive beast. It had 57" drivers and developed a respectable 200 psi boiler pressure. Looks like it has been sidelined in a scrap line at this date with its windows boarded up. It would be scrapped in May, 1935.
