Built by Alco in 1918, this J-2 class "Mountain" locomotive looks sharp in this Forrest Trittenbach photo. It had 69" drivers and developed 200 psi boiler pressure. Eventually retired in 1952. With the help of Mike Woodruff (see comment below), the location is the Icy City engine terminal. Date of photo is approximate. |

| Description: |
This class J-2 "Mountain" type locomotive was built by Alco in 1918 and served the mountainous section of the C&O as best it could. Unfortunately, no information was included to indicate the location, date or photographer of this photo. Looks like a West Virginia setting. |

Here's another shot of C&O 548 with a full head of steam and ready to roll. No location, date, or photographer was given for this photo - a shame since it is a great action shot! |

| Description: |
The Alco-Richmond factory shine and white walls still gleams in this photo. Built in 1923, it originally was numbered 139 but a year later renumbered to 540. No date, location or photographer was listed for the photo but it appears to be very early in its service, hence the arbitrary date set in 1924. The J-2 class was eventually retired in 1951-52. |
