B&O X215 (1952 IBC 250-ton crane)

On display at the B&O RR Museum Baltimore MD

 

The B&O No.X-215 was manufactured by the Industrial-Brownhoist Corporation of Bay City, Michigan and was purchased by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in 1952. The No.X-215 was a 250 ton diesel-powered crane. In 1952, the No.X-215 was placed into service in Cumberland, Maryland and placed on a wreck train. Towards the end of its career, the No.X-215 was known as CSXT No.940505. The crane was moved to the B&O Railroad Museum in 1993 and in 1995, it was painted to resemble an earlier B&O paint scheme.
