    My guess is Fitz is correct. I would have guessed a 2-8-4 design, but I have no clue.

    Thanks. Oldrk, great pix of you and Kathy with the 1225, one of my (many) favorite steamers. C&O actually had more of the consols?
    To continue the contest, can anyone answer my question?
    :tb-confused:

    I just opened my book C&O Power - it says:
    "In all over 600 2-8-0's came under C&O ownership and they were destined to be the freight power for 30 years while their service span extended through 75 years."

    Mohawks are 4-8-2's, I think, right?
