Rick Hoar General What an odd configuration, never saw this before. Cool shot. 4/30/2006 9:31:52 PM
Dorian Cooling General I'm a Western Maryland veteran, and I think they did this just to provide room for a steam generator. I could be wrong though. 11/22/2009 2:15:46 PM
David Dudjak General WM 193-194 & 197 (3 Units) were built in 1953-1954 with High Short Hoods to accomodate the Vapor-Clarkson Steam Generator - these were to cover the remaining WM passenger service at that time after which the remaining 200 Class 4-6-2 locomotives could be retired. The #197 steam generator was later removed and installed in Steam Generator car #150. 3/13/2014 11:46:26 AM
