Chesapeake and Ohio class H-8

1133: 1121: 1037:, and the H-8s were rated for 13,500 tons (160-cars) unassisted. It was over this division that dynamometer car testing yielded the over-7,000 drawbar horsepower readings. The C&O operating department was rather conservative, placing a 160-car limit on train lengths across the railroad due to yard and siding track length and to prevent unwanted slack action during braking from snapping couplers and breaking trains apart. Were it not for this 160-car limit, the H-8s could have easily handled trains approaching 200 cars and 17,000 tons unassisted over this division, save for the helper districts at Limeville, KY and on the 15-mile, up-to-0.5% grade of Powell Hill just north of Columbus, OH. 995:
6-wheel truck underneath the 25-ton coal bunker in combination with an 8-wheel truck underneath the 25,000 US gal (21,000 imp gal; 95,000 L) water cistern. The tenders came in two classes. Class 25-RA tenders came equipped with Commonwealth trucks, weighed 437,600 lb (218.8 short tons; 198.5 t) fully loaded, and were only used on 1607-1609. The remaining balance of locomotives were delivered with class 25-RB tenders which came with Buckeye trucks and weighed either 426,100 lb (213.1 short tons; 193.3 t) (1600-1606, 1610-1644), or 431,710 lb (215.86 short tons; 195.82 t) (1645-1659) fully loaded.

there are claims of engine weights as high as 778,000 lb (389 short tons; 353 t), which if true would make them heavier than the second series of Big Boys. However subsequent re-weighs of early-production H-8s, performed under scrutiny by the builder and the railroad, found them to be less than the 772,250 lb (386.12 short tons; 350.29 t) of the 4884-2s. This unusually high weight led to adhesion factors exceeding 4.5, which meant that the locomotives had a good grip on the rails and were unlikely to slip in regular service.
934:, carried 23 ft (7.0 m) tubes and flues, one foot longer than Big Boy, and was designed with a maximum operating pressure of 265 psi (1.83 MPa) in mind. In practice, the first safety valve was set at 260 psi (1.8 MPa). This, coupled with two sets of 22.5 in (570 mm) diameter by 33 in (840 mm) stroke cylinders and 67-inch drive wheels yielded 110,200 lbf (490,000 N) of starting tractive effort, calculated at 85% efficiency. 913:
final order for 15 locomotives arriving in 1948. Cost per locomotive varied between individual orders, with the first order coming in around $ 230,600 per unit and the final order costing the C&O $ 392,500 per unit. Purchased with the intention of replacing the older H-7s on the New River and Alleghany subdivisions, the class received the nickname of "Allegheny".

The H-8s also had the heaviest axle load of any steam locomotive, with 86,700 lb (43.4 short tons; 39.3 t) on the lead drive axle. According to the engine profiles from C&O the earliest locomotives weighed in at 771,300 lb (385.7 short tons; 349.9 t) in working order, although

concept from Lima. Utilizing the 6-wheel trailing truck design permitted the firebox of the locomotive to be longer and deeper, promoting enhanced coal combustion. The firebox was 180 in (4.6 m) in length, and was supplemented by a 118 in (3.0 m) combustion chamber. The boiler was

23 H-8s were equipped with steam piping for heating passenger trains, and did occasionally power passenger or troop trains. Their comparatively "tall" 67 inch drivers permitted speeds as high as 70 mph on these runs, while their increased tractive effort allowed them to run unassisted on trains

readings ranging from 6,500 to 7,500 hp (4.8 to 5.6 MW). At this output, the locomotive could consume 7 to 8 short tons (6.4 to 7.3 t; 6.3 to 7.1 long tons) of coal and 12,000 to 14,000 US gal (10,000 to 11,700 imp gal; 45,000 to 53,000 L) gallons of water per

Once on property, the H-8s were put to use on the railroad's heavy coal trains on both the flatlands of Ohio, supplementing the T-1s, and in the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia, replacing the H-7s which were then relegated to pusher service.

Having been sold on the Superpower philosophy through its experience with the T-1, the C&O went on to order 60 of the 2-6-6-6 type locomotives, which they designated the H-8, in 5 batches. The first 4 orders encompassed the first 45 locomotives and were delivered between 1941 and 1944, with the

which would have increased starting tractive effort by an additional 15,000 lbf (67,000 N), but the 160-car limit on trains on the C&O made the application of a booster to the H-8 unnecessary, and so the locomotives were never equipped. Peak horsepower output occurred between 40 and

The H-8s also handled coal trains and time freights from West Virginia to Columbus and Toledo, Ohio alongside the older T-1s. Here, the ruling grade was a slightly stiffer, but much shorter one-and-a-quarter mile of 0.7% trackage west through Limeville, Kentucky leading up to the bridge over the

The tenders were equally unique. To ensure the locomotive would fit on the largest turntables on the C&O, but still carry enough fuel and water to make division points on the railroad, the tenders were made as short lengthwise and as tall heightwise as possible. This resulted in the use of a
