Driver Quartering ?

[NW Mailing List]

Jimmy:
 
My understanding is the same as yours; also, that "right side lead" was by  
far the most common.  I have no idea why.  Theoretically, it shouldn't  
matter, should it?
 
This would lead to the suspicion that the ex-PRR K-3s that became the  N&W 
E-3s would have been left hand lead, but that's speculation only.

Were  there any N&W steam locos that used what I have been told was the  
Pennsy quartering of drivers? It is my understanding that the N&W  method 
was that the right side driver led the left side driver. Where the  
Pennsy method was the left side driver led the right side driver. Is  
this correct?
