This solid looking 2-10-2 Santa Fe type steam locomotive was built by Baldwin in May of 1926 as BO #6222. In 1951, the loco was rebuilt with a solid frame, light weight pistons, rods and crossheads and reclassified as S-1b, one of only two to get this special test rebuild. In 1956, it was renumbered BO 538. After nearly 33 years of dedicated service to the B&O, the loco was scrapped in 1959. Ralph G. Dunn collection |
