"I have a question maybe someone can answer quickly.  Which Norfolk 
and Western K-1 was used in the motion picture "Giant" in 1956.  The 
movie starred Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, and James Dean.  The 
locomotive is lettered Chesapeake and Ohio and is shown in the 
opening scenes.  I just noticed it tonight and it took me by surprise. :o)"
