CO 2-6-6-2 #1304         
This appears to be another Baldwin builder's photo of the Chesapeake & Ohio 2-6-6-2 #1304 just outside the Eddystone plant. The Chessie went to Baldwin in 1949 to buy the last ten steam locomotives the Eddystone plant would erect for any US railroad. Fifteen more planned for construction were postponed, then cancelled because of a coal strike during critical months.
