C&O H8 ‘Allegheny’ and Virginian AG ‘Blue Ridge’
This upload has both the Chesapeake and Ohio H8 "Allegheny" and the Virginian AG "Blue Ridge" class.
One of the last gasps of articulated steam, the 2-6-6-6 Allegheny proved unsuited to the tasks it was assigned, by and large. Though it developed a whopping 7500 horsepower, its wheel arrangement severely limited the amount of tractive effort it could put on the rails. C&O retired them less than 10 years after the last locomotive came out of the Lima Locomotive Works.

– Two locomotives, C&O H8 and Virginian Railway AG
– Custom Whistles!

– 7500 horsies
– 116,000 lbs of tractive effort
