Artifact Overview
The Chesapeake & Ohio Railway 2-6-6-6 Allegheny locomotive is one of the most popular artifacts in Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. It was also one of the most difficult to install. An exterior door to the building had to be enlarged and parts had to be removed from the locomotive before it could be squeezed into the museum.
