Boston And Albany 4-6-6t
The locomotives were designed for rapid acceleration, adequate power for heavy trains of up to 20 cars and perhaps most uniquely to be operated equally well in either forward or reverse. Weighing 352,000 pounds, they produced a tractive effort of 41,651 pounds. These heavy tank locomotives were designed for commuter service in the boston area. Due to the tank locomotive design rarely used in the usa, they could run in both directions at high speed. Hello everyone!today, we look at this unique, weird locomotive from the boston and albany.
The line is currently used by csx for freight.
