- Heres a video of the Baltimore & Ohio EM1 2-8-8-4 Yellowstone 650 pulling a coal train in the ohio states in the late 1950s, the original video is from railfan depot and it cames from the Pentaxs movie Steam In America
B&O's-EM-1 #650--ex-B&O #7600 was the ''Yellowstone'' that was supposed to be sent to the B&O Museum but when it got to Benwood Junction during the transfer,the Yardmaster misunderstood the official reason for it's transfer,and sent it to Dietz's Scrapyard to be broken-up. When Management found out after it was cut-up,the Yardmaster was fired.
Thats definitely a true fact.
@@ericjimenez8777 yes, they are the B&O yellowstones.
That's good news.
@@hugothemusicfantraincaptur9222 That's a cool name for the B&O EM-1s
Similar situation on the New Haven. J-1 Class Mike 3020 , which was used for the filming of the comedy It Happened to Jane, was supposed to be sent to the fairgrounds in Danbury CT for display, instead it got shipped down to Luria Bros in West Virginia 😒
I agree with Railfan 765...... what a behemoth !!!! Just the opening shots of this engine....
He oozes absolute raw power.
A true big brutus of a steam locomotive, the EM1 Yellowstone. So much horse and pulling power. So utilitarian, yet so beautiful. It's a shame they all met the torch, a grisly end to time of the B&O's all-time greats.
One of my favorite eastern USA territory examples of articulated steam power , it is a true shame that none of the B&O rr EM-1 class locomotives survived being scrapped & none of them still exist today.
Wow! Actual footage of a B&O EM-1. Impressive stuff there
Nice
Em 1 were all scrapped
All of the E1
It's a shame non were preserved
B&O tried to save atleast 2 of them, but they were sadly scrapped
Those being 7600 (650) and 7609 (659)
Basically B&O"s bigboy lol
Yeah right.
@@hugothemusicfantraincaptur9222 it was mainly a joke, I meant they look pretty simular
@@ilikeguitars3511 Actually, the EM-1 had larger fireboxes than the Big Boys. The EM-1 had a 756 sq.ft firebox, and the Big Boy's was 704 sq.ft. The EM-1 firebox was so big, it was only 6 sq.ft. less that the firebox on the C&O 2-6-6-6 Allegheny.
@@ilikeguitars3511 I know right? They look similar to each other, but the difference is the wheel arrangements.
@@hugothemusicfantraincaptur9222 that's what I was talking about
When The Allegheny Grades Were Dieselized They Were Shifted West And Ran Ore And Coal Trains TO The Erie Lake Ports From Wheeling Sounds OF The EM-1 Baltimore And Ohio Articulateds Were Provided BY The Railroad Record Club IN Hawkins Wisconsin
But 659 almost made it to preservation
The extinct one :(
But info is at down my comment
Such a shame that 650 (7600) and 659 (7609) were scrapped when they were supposed to be put on the preservation list… thanks to miscommunication both met their fates in the way rail-fans don’t want to see it…
was this filmed on the lake branch
I think so but thank you to be the 10th subscriber in my channel
Also the B&O EM1 were scrapped between 1958 to 1960 & one of them was almost went on presvation but being scrapped by accident in 1961

It's just too bad that there aren't any videos of the latel 1800's early 1900's that proves camelback consolided steam engine was the power of the coal railroad
