| This appears to be an original builder's photo of the 4-6-4 Hudson #5047 built by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad shops. The B&O shops at Mount Clare built four unique Hudsons. The first was a conversion and the other three were built from the ground up. Each of these locomotives was a different and unique design. The first Hudson was built in 1933 and was a conversion of a Class P-1c, number 5047 (seen here in its original sepia color) done at Mt. Clare in Baltimore, MD. This locomotive was given Class V-1 designation and had 74" drivers, 21.5 x 28 cylinders and weighed 355,000 lbs and had a tractive effort of 52,000 lbs. This locomotive was used successfully on the Cumberland, Pittsburgh and Akron divisions and was retired in 1950. |
