Military Locos?

Jimmy:
Norfolk & Portsmouth Belt Line acquired 13 U.S. Army 0-6-0's - seven  had
been built by Lima and six at Schenectady.  Two of the 0-6-0's  were
third-hand, coming from the Midland Terminal.  The MT had  modified
them to 2-6-0's, but the Belt Line converted them back to 0-6-0's.  Of  
course,
they weren't lettered for the army, but they did operate on various  main 
lines--
about 90% of the Belt Line crew assignments did involve trackage  rights.
EX:  To deliver C&O's from Berkley, N&PBL operated over NS  Rwy. from
a point near NS Jct. to Carolina, then on the VGN, Carolina to Q.M.  Jct.
