Figure 39.—Andrew Jackson, as remodeled to resemble Atlantic, with Charles B. Chaney at throttle—a photo taken at B & O Mount Clare shops, July 7, 1912. Note wooden barrel used as water tank.
The original Andrew Jackson, ever since called the Atlantic ([figure 41]), has appeared at many railroad pageants throughout the East ([figure 42]); in 1935 and 1936 it was on exhibit in the National Museum ([figure 43]). The John Hancock, on the other hand, was recently given back its original name ([figure 44]) after having carried the incorrect appellation Thomas Jefferson for about 60 years. Many railroad historians of recent times have apparently not been aware of the name-switching involving these two locomotives, which are now part of the permanent collection in the B & O Museum.
Figure 40.—John Hancock, bearing name Thomas Jefferson, at the Fair of the Iron Horse, September 30, 1927. When first placed in service, “grasshoppers” did not use metal water tanks.
