Chicago & Eastern Illinois 2-10-2 "Santa Fe" Type Locomotives

Class O-1 (Locobase 1418)

Data from C&EI 5 -1949 locomotive diagrams supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Source (C&O Power) doesn't give superheater area. Note the relatively low factor of adhesion, suggesting that the drivers on these engines might have slipped on starting (or that sand dunes on either side of the track might have been a characteristic feature).

Five became C&O B-2 (2000-2004) when they were sold off during World War II.
