CO 0-8-0 #345 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Title:  CO 0-8-0 #345 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Description:  This Alco-Cooke 0-8-0 yard switcher was built in 1923 as Pere Marquette #1315, class C-13. No date was given and the location by R.D. Patton was listed as Ganley's Ridge, WV. I cannot find that location anywhere. Can anyone help with this one? Jonathan Spurlock has found Handley, WV, as having several of the landmarks in a couple of photos that were marked as Ganley's Ridge, so will use that location until someone knows exactly where Ganley's Ridge is.

CO 0-8-0 #79 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Title:  CO 0-8-0 #79 - Chesapeake & Ohio
Description:  Originally built as Hocking Valley #109 by Lima Locomotive Works in 1926, it now sits in a scrap line awaiting the scrapper's torch in an unidentified yard. No exact date was given but most were scrapped between 1950-53. R.D. Patton photo. With Jonathan Spurlock's help (see comment below), I agree that the location probably is Richmond so have changed it accordingly. Thanks again, Jonathan!
