1309

1309

The massive locomotive 1309 sits in the parking lot of the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore, MD. 1309 was the last Baldwin H-6 2-6-6-2 compounds built and delivered to the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway in September 1949. Primarily a coal mine run engine, working the curving and heavily graded branches in the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia. Most H6s were scrapped, but 1309 was been preserved as an example of steam heritage.
