On Thursday, May 21, 2026, at the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Museum (reporting mark BOMX) in Baltimore, Maryland, was Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (reporting mark BO) BO 51.
The museum's BO 51 is an EMC EA. Reportedly, built in 1937, serial number 666, it was the first streamlined diesel-electric locomotive in the world. In 1953 it was traded back to EMD. It was stripped of its usable machinery, cosmetically restored, and sent to the newly opened Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Transportation Museum, as it was known at the time.
