Summary

Brunswick in the "Age of Steam" - 1924 Bill Kidwell and Tom Phalen standing next to an engine in front of the Brunswick roundhouse. This photo was part of an article in the Brunswick Citizen in November, 1982.

According to Reuben Moss, "the 7100 was the first in the EL-1 series built around 1916 (not to be confused with the slightly larger EM-1, which was the largest locomotive type the B&O operated).

I believe that the EL-1, like the EM-1, could not normally travel farther east than Brunswick due to clearances. They would take trains to and from Brunswick through Cumberland and the mountains, but trade out at Brunswick where smaller locomotives would take the coal and freight to Baltimore or other destinations to the east."
