EM-1 7626 In Cumberland
B&O 2-8-8-4 #7626 is going through inspection at the shops in Cumberland, MD, April 1954. The big steamer and it's brothers would work out of Cumberland another two years before being bumped to the Ohio coal fields by diesel-electric locomotives. There they worked for another two years being retired in 1958. Stored serviceable for a few years, all were stricken from the roster and scrapped by the mid sixties.
