Nice example of a semi-streamlined Lima 4-8-4 Northern type locomotive built in 1943 as Western Pacific #484 (serial #8020, class 481-GS-64). The mighty loco served the Western Pacific from 1943 to March of 1952. It was sold to Southern Pacific in January of 1953 for parts. The loco was shipped to Sacramento, stripped of usable parts and then scrapped. Specs - 73.5" drivers, impressive 260 psi boiler pressure, 27x30" cylinders, engine weight of 465,100 lb, tractive effort of 65,759 lb. Bill Pennington photo.

CO 4-8-4 #600 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Description:
Looking very much like a builder's photo, this beautifully detailed scale model is based on the actual Lima built 4-8-4, called a "Greenbrier" rather than the traditional "Northern-type" locomotive, which was delivered to the C&O in 1935. These were among the largest 4-8-4s built. #600 is name "The George Washington" for the passenger train these locos would head up. This particular loco was named the "Thomas Jefferson".

CO 4-8-4 #601 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Description:
Fairly nice photo by Otto C. Perry of the Lima 4-8-4 Northern type steam locomotive although the C&O referred to them as "Greenbriers". The unit was delivered in December of 1935. Seen here a year after delivery, it still has its shiny boiler shell and clean white wall rims. The locos in the class were given patriotic names - this one was "Patrick Henry". The J-3 class was retired in 1953.

C&O 4-8-4 #603 - Chesapeake & Ohio RR
Description:
Nice photo of the 1935 Lima built Northern-type locomotive that the C&O called "Greenbriers", their J-3 class. The first 5 were given names - this one being labeled "Edmund Randolf" after the distinguished statesman. According to www.Steamlocomotives.com " Known as Greenbriers on the C&O, these were among the largest 4-8-4s built. According to Drury (1993), the design was based on the earlier 2-10-4. All of the engines had the same power dimensions (cylinder volume, boiler pressure setting, and driver diameter) and 14" (356 mm) piston valves. All twelve had trailing-truck boosters to raise starting tractive effort. The first two orders used Worthington Type 5-S feed water heaters." Specifics - 74" drivers, impressive 255 psi boiler pressure, 27x30" cylinders, engine weight of 477,000 lb, tractive effort of 66,453 lb. No exact date was given for this photo so an arbitrary one was used. An unknown photographer captured this moment.

C&O 4-8-4 #612 - Chesapeake & Ohio RR
Description:
Here stands one of the finest examples of a 4-8-4 ever built by Lima, delivered to the C&O in 1948. Railroad historian Eugene Huddleston noted the skepticism concerning this order (for the last 4-8-4's): "Simply amazing is the expenditure of so much money to produce a "state of the art" locomotive in the waning days of steam. It seems nothing was sacrificed to equip the new Greenbriers with the latest features and best appliances. Enthusiasm was still the word in 1947, as this writer well recalls from being told about the order for five more Greenbriers from Lima Locomotive Works by locomotive engineer Vince Hiltz." Specifics - J-3a class, 74" drivers, 255 psi boiler pressure, 27.5x30" cylinders, engine weight of 482,200 lb, tractive effort of 66,453 lb. Jim Scribbins photo

CO 4-8-4 #614 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Description:
Interesting loco built by Lima nn June of 1948. Massive, powerful and commanding to say the least and a loco with nine lives. The unit would continue long after the other Greenbriers (4-8-4's to the C&O) were retired. It was a test loco for the American Coal Enterprise as they tried developing a coal burning steam locomotive that could compete with diesel loco on a>cost basis. It also served as the Chessie Safety Special. This photo by Arthur B. Johnson.

The loco with "nine lives" is serving as the head end power of the Chessie Safety Special as caught by an unidentified photographer.

Built by Lima in june of 1948 (serial #9306), this locomotive led a dual life serving the C&O in the mountainous West Virgina area until retirement in 1955, reborn as an excursion loco for the American Freedom Train and the Chessie Steam Special.

SP 4-8-4 #4437 - Southern Pacific
Description:
Even in this poor quality photo and under streamlined sheeting, the distinctive Lima look is evident. Specifics (with the help of Raymond Jones in correcting some misinformation-see comment below) - Lima built in 1937, GS-3 class, 80" drivers, oil-fired, impressive 280 psi boiler pressure, 26x32" cylinders, 460,000 lb engine weight, 64,365 lb tractive effort. Originally the "GS" in its class name stood for "Golden State" but when the WWII War Production Board refused SP more Golden State passenger locos, SP changed the "GS" to mean "General Service", thereby getting 10 more locos. The entire GS-3 class was retired between 1954-58. Albert A Schrum photo. No location or date was listed for this photo but with Ricardo Montijo's help (see comment below), the location has been identiied as San Francisco. Thanks for the help, Ricardo!

SP 4-8-4 #4449 - PNWC/NRHS World's Fair Trip
Description:
The loco itself has led a life much like a mythical phoenix, arising from ashes for a new life. It served the Southern Pacific unitl retirement in 1956 and donated for a static display in Portland, OR. It was resurrected and restored for the American Freedom Train in 1976. It eventually ended back in storage only to be reborn in the 1980's for fan trips like this one. An unknown rail fan took the color slide.
