Simple Simons First built for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway in 1924, the H-7 2-8-8-2 articulated became the mainline freighter of choice through the 1930s. The H-7 Class was the first fleet of simple articulated steam locomotives in America and influenced later designs such as the Challenger and Allegheny. Even with the advent of more modern p ower, the H-7 class served on the C&O through the end of steam in the 1950s. Some of these "Simple Simons" even worked far away f rom their eastern origins. During World War II, the Union Pacific purchased 30 of these steamers from the C&O. Equipped with big 21,000 gallon tenders, the H-7's fought up Sherman Hill with Challengers and Big Boys. Features
