CO 2-8-0 #813 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Title:  CO 2-8-0 #813 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Description:  As one of the early 2-8-0 Consolidations, built by Baldwin in 1903, it and others in its G-7 class must have impressed the Chesapeake & Ohio officials with its power as hundreds more were to follow. Now it sits in the scrap line with its bell and front number plate missing waiting for the scrapper's torch. Unknown photographer.
