N&W Loco in Movie "Giant"

[NW Mailing List]

It's K-1 114, lettered C&O on one side, the last steam engine to make 
the Valley Line run in 1958 as I recall.

"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.
