In 1904 a dramatic, new locomotive was built at the Schenectady Works of the American Locomotive Company for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. It immediately went to the World's Fair in St. Louis, where it became an instant star as the World's Largest Locomotive. In the varied and interesting history of American motive power, few stories are as gripping as that of Old Maud, North America's first Mallet locomotive. Once one of the most celebrated locomotives ever built, to many turn of the century Americans it was a household word. The B&O's No. 2400 was talked about and written about perhaps more than any locomotive before or since. (Amazon)
