Please help me. I am trying to find an old E9a that origionally worked on the B&O in the Metro Detroit area. My grandfather worked on it and has a picture. As far as I can tell by visiting sites, in the 1970’s it was purchesed by the Amtrak after the B&O/C&O (Chessie System) merger. I would hope that you people lioving along Amtrak lines could look.
Picture can be found at: http://www.hebners.net/amtrak/amtE400/amt403.jpg with Amtrak Paint Job.
This locomotive is ex. Amtrak 488. I am pretty sure it use to be B&O’s. I am not sure where on the line it ran though. It is coupled to 489, which use to be ex. Amtrak 489.
Thanks, where was picture taken??
The locomotive pictured above was never B&O! It is a FL-9, and was originally NEW HAVEN.
It was taking at Whippany NJ, at Whippany RR Museum.
Edhorm, sorry about that. I thought it used to be. This is the background information for 488, exx.NH 2016, ex.PC 5016. Again, sorry about that.
Thats ok, although it looks like an F7 or F3. Thanks for the information
