| Title: |
CO 4-6-4 #300 - Chesapeake & Ohio |
| Description: |
Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in December of 1948 (serial #64135), the white sidewalls make it look sharper than most 4-6-4 Hudsons. A note on the back of the photo states "C&O L-2 #300 on radial track at Cincinnati Union Terminal Feb 13, 1953; 1:45PM (probably protection for diesels)." #300 had roller bearings on its side and main rods as well and was also unique in that it had Union Pacific style "elephant ear" smoke deflecters applied some time around 1948 but are not present by 1953 for this photo. It was one of only two C&O locomotives to recieve this modification. The L-2 was rated to pull a fifteen-car train at 90 mph (145 kph) on tangent level track. R.R. Malinoski photo |
