Baltimore and Ohio Railroad 2-10-2 steam locomotive no. 6224 at Hagerstown, Maryland, on May 4, 1941. The photographer sent a print of this photograph to Trains magazine editor Al Kalmbach. His caption included this comment: “Note smoke in distance of Western Maryland 923 and 933 pushers. This train was going slower than any train I’ve ever seen climbing a grade. Although barely moving, she did not stall, and actually if I had felt ambitious, I could have obtained several views of the train by merely sprinting along with it, believe it or not.”
