Louis Brzuchalski General This is a former B&O unit. Just looking at number at top right corner, shows 275. This unit was renumbered to 4534, and was bnuilt 12-50, serial 12636, F-7-A, for B&O. Order 6161, frame 6161-11. Also sister unit 275a was built 10-50, serial 12637, order & frame 6161-12. If someone can supply data from ACI sheet attached to side of locomotive, right between the B and &, it will give correct locomoive number. Sister unit 275a was renumbered to 4535. I have a slide of 4534 taken at B&O rossford (Toledo) Oh. rounhouse in the 1950's, where I got data from both locomotives. 1/7/2005 11:56:56 AM
Louis Brzuchalski General Thanks to picture of B&O 4535 shown as parts engine at Morris Park, N> Y>, the correct former number will be B&O 275a. Both pictures from the side are identical, infact I can barely make out the last number "5" on the side of this locomotive. 3/20/2005 6:57:49 PM
