| According to one B&O steam roster, this locomotive was built in 1901 by the Rhode Island Locomotive Works in Providence, RI, as a class B-18. A notation on the back of the photo has it as a B-18E class. Rhode Island Locomotive merged to form ALCO about the time this unit was built in 1901. Obviously this is a 1969 reprint from an original negative but the original was taken in 1938 with the day as unknown. Credit was given to Bruce D. Fales as photographer. |
