' I ''HE massive Lord Baltimore, 4-8-2 Mountain type, 100 feet, 6 inches,
-*- in length and weighing 659,000 pounds, came from the Mount Clare
shops (Baltimore) in 1925. With its 74-inch drivers, it produces a tractive
force of 68,200 pounds. It hauls nine-car Pullman trains, without a pusher
or assistance of any sort, over the stiffest mountain grades of Baltimore and
Ohio (2.2 per cent) at a fair rate of speed, steadily sustained. His
lordship has a Vanderbilt tender-tank which holds 15,100 gallons of
water and 21V2 tons of coal, necessitating the use of six-wheel trucks.
