| B&O NW2 9544 at East Saint Louis, Illinois on December 18, 1982, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built in October 1948 as B&O 552 (c/n 6675) on EMD Order E1086, and showing the early NW2 production two-step taper from hood to cab, it was renumbered to 9544 during early 1957, traded to EMD in late 1985 as credit for an order of SD50's. |
