"Musím říct, že mají všechno!" Takto se vyjádřil prezident společnosti Baltimore & Ohio White při prohlídce prvního modelu EM-1. Navzdory tomu, že B&O dávala přednost dieselům, přidělila jí válečná výrobní rada nové parní lokomotivy. Měly to být poslední a největší parní lokomotivy dodané společnosti Baltimore & Ohio B&O a mnozí tvrdili, že patří k nejlepším. Výkonné lokomotivy byly vybaveny všemi nejmodernějšími funkcemi, které byly v té době k dispozici, a byly navrženy tak, aby využily každý centimetr prostoru, který byl pro společnost B&O vyhrazen v důsledku omezeného průjezdu. Ačkoli byly postaveny pro vlečnou nákladní dopravu na horských tratích společnosti Baltimore & Ohio v jihozápadní Pensylvánii a Západní Virginii, před vyřazením v roce 1957 si lokomotivy našly cestu k různým rolím, včetně některých poštovních a expresních a osobních exkurzí.

Lokomotivy EM-1 byly menší než jejich starší bratranci 2-8-8-4 Yellowstone na západě kvůli malým průjezdným vzdálenostem v tunelech a na mostech, přesto byly neméně působivé. Posádky si jich vážily pro jejich výkon, účinnost a zejména hladkou jízdu. Nakonec však jejich vláda v horách trvala jen krátce - zničily je diesely, které B&O vždy chtělo.

Stejně jako prototyp mají i tyto modely Lionel vše, co si můžete přát! Jsou vybaveny systémem LEGACY i Bluetooth, takže je lze snadno ovládat z kabiny LEGACY nebo TMCC, univerzálního dálkového ovladače, aplikace LionChief nebo transformátoru. Duální reproduktory skvěle využívají zvuky LEGACY RailSounds a model je vybaven parními efekty komína a píšťaly. Všechny ovládací spínače jsou pohodlně umístěny pod pískovou kopulí. Pro toto vydání Lionel přidal k této dobře vypadající lokomotivě několik schémat "co kdyby".

Role lokomotivy EM-1 v poštovní a výletní dopravě nás vedla k představě, jak mohla vypadat ve správné modré barvě B&O. DM&IR a Northern Pacific nasazovaly větší lokomotivy 2-8-8-4. Tam, kde to bylo vhodné, jsme přidali detaily přední vzduchové pumpy a stonožkové tendry, abychom lépe zachytili vzhled těchto strojů. Několik lokomotiv DM&IR bylo pronajato společnosti Rio Grande - vznikly tak velmi věrohodné 2-8-8-4 se zeleným kotlem. A konečně, láska Union Pacific k velké páře a paralelní trasa Western Maryland přes hory způsobily, že design EM-1 byl přirozeným "měl být" i pro tyto tratě.

The Baltimore & Ohio EM-1 was a class of 30 Baldwin-built 2-8-8-4 "Yellowstone" type articulated locomotives that the B&O used well into the end of the steam era in heavy-haul, heavy drag service. Two more of the same type were built, intended for use on the Bingham and Garfield, a Utah copper mine road, but for some reason were never delivered. Their numbers were 7600 to 7629, and were renumbered in 1956 as 650 to 679. The last of them had their fires dropped in April 1960, marking the end of steam on America s first railroad.

The Yellowstone Type steam locomotive design, of the 2-8-8-4 wheel arrangement and an articulated design featured many of the peak technological advances of the motive power and being developed in the late 1920s had an extremely short lifespan, as some Yellowstones were barely 10 years of age before being retired! The Yellowstone Type was also one of the longest steam locomotives ever built and could produce well over 6,000 hp in some classes.

The Yellowstone originally came about in 1928 when the Northern Pacific went looking for a steam locomotive capable of very high horsepower that could burn relatively low-grade coal found along its mainline (known as “Rosebud” coal).

The 2-8-8-4 s late development also meant that few, in comparison to other types, were ever built. In total 72 of these massive machines were manufactured for four different railroads: the Baltimore & Ohio; Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range Railway; Northern Pacific; and Southern Pacific. The B&O would go on to own the most purchasing 30 of the locomotives in what would become their famous EM-1 class.

The Second World War broke out in 1941, and diesel locomotive production had been curtailed. At this time, the B&O wanted more diesels, but in a surprising turn of events they had no choice but to buy more steam locomotives. The railroad would have rather purchased diesels at the time but the big steamers proved adept in their assignment of moving heavy loads over stiff grades like Sand Patch. Today, just three of these magnificent locomotives are preserved. The result was a class of 30 powerful "Yellowstone" type locomotives, classed EM-1, a development of the EL-1 2-8-8-0 Mallets. Unlike all other B&O steam power, which had been fitted with the road s own 3 and 6 chime whistles, the EM-1 s were delivered with Nathan single-chime hooter whistles. The EM-1 s were considered to be amongst the handsomest, most powerful and reliable articulated locomotives in the USA, and amongst the best steamers the B&O ever had. They were also the smallest "Yellowstones" built with a somewhat streamlined tender and centered headlight. While aesthetics usually matter little in over-the-road freight steamers, it is also said that the B&Os EM-1 class was perhaps the most beautiful Yellowstone.

DM&IR No. 225 is a class M-3 2-8-8-4 "Yellowstone" type steam locomotive, the enormous engine was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1941 for the Duluth, Missabe and Iron Ridge railroad, one of the primary iron ore hauling railroads in Minnesota. Iron ore is heavy, and combined with the railroads steep grades, made transporting this material from the mines to the Great Lakes a tricky task and required great amounts of power. Indeed, even the 2-8-8-0 locomotives - the most powerful ones of the DM&IR s roster - needed a helping hand.

The DM&IR decided to build eight engines that would be similar to the Western Pacific s 2-8-8-2 s. These new engines were built with large fireboxes and all-weather cabs requiring a second axle to be added on the rear truck. This arrangement earned them the name "Yellowstones" and were the most powerful engines of this type, producing 140,000 lbf of tractive effort.

Although the 225 is called a "Yellowstone", footplate crews called it a "Mallet" after Swiss engineer Anatole Mallet. Mallet introduced locomotive articulation, in which the rear engine is rigidly attached to the main body and boiler of the locomotive, while the front engine rides on a separate truck attached to the rigid rear frame by a pivot so that it can swing from side to side.

The first eight were delivered in 1941 and performed beyond the DM&IR s expectations, who ordered another ten of these engines in 1943. The engines performed so well that several were loaned out to the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad for use on their Tennessee Pass route. The Rio Grande heralded the engines as being the best ones to operate.

The engines began fading into obscurity as dieselization took hold. After an accident on Tennessee Pass, the loaned engines were returned. Afterwards the DM&IR began scrapping them, only saving three of the later batch.

The DM&IR donated #225 to the city of Proctor on the 25th of March, 1963, and put on display at Charles E Carlson Park, where it remains today.
