Album Info:These are two older b&w reprints of Baltimroe & Ohio 2-6-6-4 articulated steam locomotives. No exact date or photographer was given for either photo. Unfortunately the RRPA data base does not include a choice for a Baldwin 2-6-6-4 so it is listed as a 2-6-6-2.

It was then sold to the B&O in August of 1947 and renumbered BO 7702 as seen here later. The loco lasted only 6 more years on the roster before being sold for scrap in March of 1953. Specs - 69" drivers, impressive 230 psi boiler pressure, four sets of 22x30" cylinders, massive engine weight of 480,000 lb, tractive effort of 82,000 lb. No exact date or photographer was listed for the photo.
