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 power, 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 from 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-7s fought up Sherman Hill with Challengers and Big Boys. FEATURES:
