N&W Pacific = Pensy K4?

[NW Mailing List]

Kenneth:
 
The N&W, in 1930, purchased five PRR K-3's for use in passenger  service.  
The N&W numbers were 500 - 504.  The last one was  dismantled in May 1947.

Hanging  in the lounge at the Raleigh, NC passenger station is a 
photograph of an  N&W pacific (probably #503?) at Durham, NC.  Looking at 
the  photo, it struck me how much like a Pennsylvania K4 Pacific it  
looks.  With the exception of the distinctive tender, I could almost  
believe I was looking at a Pensy engine.  Did the N&W and Pensy  share 
locomotive designs, or is it merely a case of accidental  similarity?

I took a photo of the photo, and can send it if it would  help, though 
the quality isn't the greatest.
