I believe these are C&O class H-8 Allegheny 2-6-6-6 locomotives, not the N&W 2-6-6-4s as noted.

It says "Alleghany - type" on the card. As Paul said, these are C&O, not N&W. These were built by Lima, in Lima, OH. N&W's "A"s wer built by the N&W at Roanoke Shops. The two lines not only weren't related, they were competitors.

This was taken at Clifton Forge, VA. One of the best photos ever taken in my opinion!
