Baltimore & Ohio (B&O) Class E-19A
Data from Alvin F Staufer's Baltimore & Ohio Steam and Electric Locomotives (Medina, Ohio) supplied by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection May 2005.
In the same year that the two E-18s were completed as Vanderbilt-firebox oddities (Locobase 4142), another 109 Camelbacks were delivered as Vauclain compounds. Seven more were supplied by Baldwin as simple engines in 1903.
By 1905, compounding was no longer seen as an answer and the entire class was converted to the configuration shown in the specs. As with all Wootten-type fireboxes, the ratios seem skewed but the overall performance is in the middle of the pack.
