Description:
This massive articulated 0-8-8-0 was built for the Baltimore & Ohio by Alco-Schenectady in 1913 as one of 30 "pushers". According to one online source, these massive articulated locomotives built to serve as pushers were "slow and complicated". Two were rebuilt as EL-4 2-8-8-0's as a result. Final members of the class like this one were scrapped in 1949-50. Specs - serial #53753, class LL-1, 56" drivers, 210 psi boiler pressure, 28x32" high pressure cylinders, 41x32" low pressure cylinders, engine weight of 471,900 lb, impressive tractive effort of 98,352 lb.
