A view of the Brunswick Rail Yard of the PEPCO No. 43, which built by Heisler Locomotive Works and purchased new by the Potomac Electric Power Company, or “PEPCO,” in 1938. It is a rare type of “fireless” – or “thermos-bottle” – steam locomotive.
From 1938 to 1978, the No. 43 was used to haul coal, first at the Buzzard Point Power Station in Washington, DC, and then at the Potomac River Power Station in Alexandira, VA. At some point during its 40 years with the power company, the locomotive was renumbered as the PEPCO No. 1. Though the No. 1 was still in good condition when it retired in 1978, it was not strong enough to pull the newer, heavier coal hoppers of the late-1970s.
