Chesapeake and Ohio 614

Chesapeake and Ohio 614 is a preserved American steam locomotive of the 4-8-4 wheel arrangement, a type its owner called Greenbrier rather than Northern, after the famous resort hotel in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, on the railway's main line. Lima Locomotive Works of Lima, Ohio built it in June 1948 for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway as a member of the J-3-A class, making it one of the last steam locomotives built commercially in the United States. It hauled long, heavy, fast express passenger trains such as the George Washington and the Fast Flying Virginian. Retired in the 1950s, it was donated to the B&O Railroad Museum in 1975, restored to running order by preservationist Ross Rowland from 1979, used in 1985 for coal-train performance tests linked to the ACE 3000 project, and run on excursions through the 1990s. After years on display at Clifton Forge, Virginia, it was sold in November 2024 to RJD America for restoration to operating condition.
