Someone gave me an early color photo of locomotive 2765 crossing the trestle at Elza Gate in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The photo was taken from the front at a 3/4 angle from the decking on the trestle and the locomotive looks to be a Berkshire type. Any information will be gladly appreciated. Mr. Daugherty |

Could it be that the picture you have is not as old as you think? Nickle Plate 765 was dressed up to look like C&O 2765 for some trips as seen in the link below. If the picture is older than 50 years it could be the original C&O 2765, which you guessed correctly was also a 2-8-4 berkshire http://csx.history.railfan.net/gallery/stm2765b.html |
