Re: K locomotives on the N&W main line

[NW Mailing List]

Frank and All,

The book The Last Steam Railroad in America by O Winston Link and Thomas H Garver, in a sidebar on page 38, mentions the K2s with their J-style shrouding, including a picture of number 117 as it waits in Roanoke for departure to Winston-Salem on the “Punkin’ Vine”.

Hello, all

Other than the K engines that ran between Norfolk and Richmond Broad Street, how often were K locomotives used in passenger service elsewhere on the main line?  I had the impression that J-class locomotives were used and that K engines were relegated to branch lines to Durham, Winston-Salem, Hagerstown, and elsewhere.  I have attached a picture of N&W 124 at Farmville, unknown year.

Happy holidays to all,
