| Built by the Pittsburgh Locomotive & Car Works in May of 1899 with construction number #1953, big #5 was officially delivered to the Chesapeake Beach Railway on May 15, 1899. Labelled by both management and railfans alike as the fastest locomotive on the CB's roster, #5 would spend it's entire working career hauling speedy passenger trains on the Chesapeake Beach Railway's mainline until it was retired and scrapped in October of 1934 at the Seat Pleasant, Maryland, Shops. This photograph shows big #5 in all it's glory proudly sitting on the turntable located in the Seat Pleasant, Maryland, shops adjacent to the five stall roundhouse. |
