Central Vermont Railway 220, Steam locomotive with tender at Shelburne Museum, United States
The Central Vermont Railway 220 is a steam locomotive with tender displayed at Shelburne Museum in Vermont. It features a 4-6-0 wheel configuration and was manufactured by the American Locomotive Company in 1915.
Built in 1915, this locomotive later transported four United States presidents: Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Dwight D. Eisenhower. It remained in service until its retirement in 1955.
The locomotive represents the technological evolution of American rail transport, marking the transition period between steam and diesel-powered engines in the 1950s.
The locomotive is displayed outdoors where visitors can view it from multiple angles. The tender sits directly behind the engine, allowing you to see how the coal and water storage systems were arranged.
This was the final coal-burning ten-wheeler to operate regularly on the Central Vermont Railway before switching to diesel power. Its career ended in 1955 just as most railroads were making the transition away from steam.
