I-12 class
In the 1930’s the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad began experimenting with new car designs
in an effort to save money and keep their own employees employed. One of the more
successful designs, and one that became a signature design for the B&O, was the
wagontop design.

In 1935 and 1936, the B&O applied this design to about 7 cabooses and each had
its unique traits. These first designs were classified as I-5. In 1941 the B&O applied
an improved wagontop design to a new, all steel caboose and it became known as the
I-12 wagontop caboose. In all, the B&O had 125 of these cabooses constructed in
two separate batches. In 1941 the Keyser, WV shops built 100 I-12s and numbered
them 2400 – 2499 and in 1945 the last 25 were built in the same shops and
numbered 2800 – 2824.
