Boston & Maine 1455

Boston & Maine No. 1455 was the sole survivor of the B-15 class Moguls, considered the symbol of the light and backwoods branch lines of the Boston & Albany Railroad.

History[]

Built in 1907 by ALCO this 2-6-0 was one of 135 Class B-15 Moguls acquired between 1903 and 1910 by the Boston and Maine Railroad.

In 1956 it still ran on commuter trains out of Boston's North Station to Clinton, MA. Thereafter it was displayed at the Edaville RR in South Carver, MA and then sat by itself in Hyannis and Rochester, MA before Danbury Railroad Museum acquired it.

As of today the locomotive is on public display at the Danbury Railroad Museum.
