| Remarks & Notes |
| Chesapeake & Ohio 4-6-4 No. 490 rests on indoor display at the B&O Railroad Museum. 490 was built by ALCO in 1926 as a 4-6-2. It was converted to a 4-6-4 and streamlined in 1947, shortly before C&O began curtailing passenger operations. It would serve for only six more years before being retired in 1953. 490 has the distinction of being the last C&O steam locomotive to haul a scheduled passenger train. It was thankfully stored by the C&O in Huntington, WV for many years before being donated to the museum in 1968.
