===Baltimore & Ohio=== [[Baltimore and Ohio Railroad|B&O]] created a single 4-4-4 in 1934, rebuilding a [[4-4-2 (locomotive)|4-4-2]] "Atlantic" into a solitary class J-1, named ''Lady Baltimore''. This and the single class V-2 [[4-6-4]] ''Lord Baltimore'' were built for new lightweight passenger trains. In the ''Lady Baltimore'''s case the [[Abraham Lincoln (train)|Abraham Lincoln]] on the [[Chicago and Alton Railroad]], a wholly owned subsidiary of the B&O. Despite the Alton's flat territory and straight track, the locomotive did not do well. It was returned to the B&O and was again modified at the railroad's Mount Clare shops, a less streamlined cab and front end being fitted. Subsequently, it was placed into local service on the railroad's Wheeling Division, mostly operating between [[Holloway, Ohio|Holloway]] and [[Cleveland, Ohio]]. It proved no more successful in that service, and was sent to the B&O's Riverside Shop for storage. It was scrapped in 1949.<ref name ="train" />
