The design of the M-1 was a collaboration between the C&O, the Baldwin Locomotive Works and Westinghouse. [4]: 202 The C&O possessed substantial coal-hauling revenue and was loath to abandon it as a fuel source. [5]: 109 Further, C&O's engineering staff expressed concern that oil reserves would be exhausted within 25-30 years.
The F-19s, Nos. 490-494, were the final new 4-6-2s the C&O received (later 4-6-2s would be purchased second-hand from the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad (RF&P).

To pull the Chessie the C&O ordered three experimental steam turbine locomotives from the Baldwin Locomotive Works. As diesel locomotives became more prevalent following World War II, the C&O was one of several railroads who were reluctant to abandon coal as a fuel source, and they believed steam turbine technology was a possible alternative to ...
Length including tenders was 161 ft 1-1/2 inches, probably the record for a steam locomotive; engine-only length was 111 ft 7-1/2 inches, perhaps the record for any single unit. [12] [13] The unit looked similar to the C&O turbines but differed mechanically; it was a C+C-C+C with a Babcock & Wilcox water-tube boiler with automatic controls. The ...
