[AggroJones]

Ha Ha! I win again.


I hauled freakinshly long coal trains.

My career lasted more than 20 years.

I spawned off a landmark Berkshire.

I'm a HUGE, coal-burning eastern steamer.

I wear a lovely black paint scheme.

My 69" drivers allowed me to cruise over 50 mph.

What am I?

Yay! I won! I guess I'm up again, Aggro.

I am one of the few steam locomotives better known by a name than my class or number.

I am a semi-streamlined passenger locomotive that operated in the East, and I had 84" drivers.

I was handed over to a subsidiary road for a while, then returned to my home road.

I was built in 1935 and ended my service life pulling 5 car trains between Washington,DC and Cumberland, MD.

I was the only locomotive in my class.

Very close. It is a Pennsy Pacifc, but not that class. Note-- the largest Pacific type.

Here's the 9:30 clue:

On other roads, I would be called a "Texas", but on my line I am NOT called that.

Let me give this a try.

I am a mid-sized steamer named after a state.

Some of my class was built by Baldwin, others were built by the road I operated on, but all were rebuilt to my road's specifications by the 1930s.

I was in coal service/manifest freight service until all of my class was retired in 1958.

I was rarely seen east of an Illinois town that was also a hub of my road.

All engines in my class were coal burners, but I also saw oil burners operate on the railroad that rostered me.

Someone else come up with a mystery locomotive. Please.
