Renumbering Locomotives Affects B&O Fleet and Fatal Crash
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad begins renumbering its entire motive power fleet, standardizing four digit numbers where the first digit marks service class and the second identifies the builder. The move affects 1144 diesel units and 443 steam locomotives, with three digit groupings for steam cars and three for diesels, alongside a fatal crash near Cambria County involving Frieda Hensley, 18, of Irwin, and Ralph Fox, 40, of Elyria.
