| Sitting in what appears to be a dead/scrap line is Baltimore & Ohio 2-8-2 Mikado #4418. Built by Baldwin in March of 1921, B&O 2-8-2 Mikado #4408 served the railroad for nearly 37 years before being retired and scrapped in March of 1958 at Mt Clare yard in Baltimore, MD. Just prior to being scrapped, it was assigned a new number of B&O #410 but probably wasn't actually renumbered before the scrapper's torch hit it. MD. Specs - class Q-4, 64" drivers, 220 psi boiler pressure, 26x32" cylinders, engine wt of 327,400 lb, tractive effort of 63,200 lb. No location, date or photographer was listed for the photo but it appears to be awaiting its moment with the scrapper's torch. |
