The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad’s sole Class N-1 steam locomotive #5600 George H. Emerson was the first duplex locomotive and the first 4-4-4-4 locomotive ever built. It was designed and built by the railroad’s own shops in 1937. The rear set of cylinders were placed beside the firebox. This allowed the locomotive’s wheelbase to remain the same.
