N&W Loco in Movie "Giant"

[NW Mailing List]

Just to add to what Jim Nichols said, number 100 was the last K-1 to receive 
the ex-PM tenders (by the way of C&O) and this was in May 1955.  Since it 
was in the shops for applying this tender, it was stencilled for the C&O at 
that time (on the left side only), made the filming, and immediately 
returned to Roanoke to get its N&W stencilling -- all in May 1955.
