Impressive photo of B&O No.25 in its Wild Wild West movie garb.

B&O Museum, Baltimore MD. Closed due to damage from the President's Day snowstorm of course, probably until next summer. She's actually a few decades older than the Eureka--dates to the 1850s. However, it's unlikely that much of her except the frame and some castings really dates back that far any longer.

Here's a pic from 1969 before the engine got all dolled up for the movie.

Steve, I really enjoyed that photo. The Shay in the background is WM6 which is now working at Cass. I'm told that they took her out of the roundhouse on compressed air, and with the first few chuffs, 27 years worth of dead bugs headed straight for the ceiling.

Do you have any other photos from that visit? Please post them. It would be nice to see a shot of B&O EA #51 before the idiots who were running the place at the time put her outside.

That #25 photo is posted at Joe Korman's site. He's got a bunch more from his 1969 Baltimore trip at his site.
