K2/K2a Build months

[NW Mailing List]

Dates presented here are both correct in their own right. There are different dates for the building of these locomotives. I have the dates from ALCO and BLW for these engines when built which are earlier than the dates given in the N&W records. The N&W records are actually the dates when the engines went into service rather than actually built. If there are two differnet dates, I would go with the later one for "in service date" rather than built date.

  Thank you Gordon & Jim, but we seem to have a bit of discrepency in the dates.
