C&O H-8 "Allegheny" #1601 Steam Locomotive

Were designed by the Lima Locomotive Works to haul up to 4000 ton coal trains, and were among the most powerful articulated steam locomotives ever built. 1601 was the 2nd locomotive in its class, built in 1941. 1601 and a few other H-8's were also used to haul troop trains during WWII, and were equipped with steam heating equipment.


In Game:

• Front engine set + pilot articulates
  
• Brick speed of 70mph (85mph with adjusted 2 brick speed)
  
• 1:1 scale
  
• WABSIM equipped
  
• Top speed: 70mph
  
• Realistic firing
  
• Working mechanical stoker
  
• High water and coal capacity
  
• Accurate articulating piping

In 1940, the C&O found itself needing a more powerful locomotive class than the T-1's and H-7's they had running the coal lines at the time. While the C&O was looking into locomotives similar to a competitor railroad Norfolk & Western's 2-6-6-4, The engineers at Lima were experimenting with 3-axle trailing truck designs. The combination of those 2 ideas birthed the 2-6-6-6 design. Weighing 771,300 lbs, with a 135 sq ft Grate, 67" drivers, and a rated tractive effort of 110,000 lbs, the H-8's were huge in quite a few ways. After the success of the first order, the C&O named the type the "Allegheny" after the mountains they ran over, and bought 50 more, bringing the fleet up to 60 locomotives. During testing, the C&O discovered the Alleghenies could develop an unmatched instantaneous horsepower of 7500, and 6900 continuous at 46 mph. By 1956, all H-8's were retired as the railroad converted to Diesel locomotives. 1601 is on static display at the Henry Ford Museum, along with 1604 in the B&O Museum.
