History
The Allegheny was first produced for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway for the coal runs from the terminal in Hinton, West Virginia and 80 miles to the east to Clifton Forge, Virginia. The locomotive’s name came from the steep climb through the mountain range of the same name. Two Alleghenies were needed to take the 10,000 ton loads of coal up to the summit at 2,072 feet, one pushing and one pulling, once the summit was reached, one Allegheny could pull the rest of the trip.
