<div>Another childhood memory if you will bear with me:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Circleville's local freights in the mid-'50's were usually powered by K-1's. I lived just 2 blocks away and I noticed one day that No 101 (I think, it was) had it's new tender - larger, shinier and really good looking. I couldn't miss that, so I hopped on my bike and headed to the Container Corporation Plant where they were switching at the time. As I approached a stop sign, I thought that since my mission was so important and that #101 had finished it's switching and was moving on down the line away from me and that all the other times I was at the intersection, there was no cross traffic that I could save a few seconds by blowing thru the stop sign. Didn't work - I remember the grillework of a '41 Ford Tudor, screeching brakes, landing on my posterior on the pavement looking back at a terrified driver's face. Lucky the Ford was about stopped when we met and I was only emotionally injured. I didn't get to see the new tender up close, but ever since, I have associated the great K-1's with my bike wreck.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In hindsite, the K-1's weren't very good switching engines, but could really scat between towns. Once a month or so, there would be an M-2 on locals and at least once it was a Z, which I deemed at the time a nifty miniature main line engine very suitable for those switching chores. I sure miss all that.</div>
