K locomotives on the N&W main line

[NW Mailing List]

In the 1950s, numbers 121, 122 and 123 were equipped with intermittent train stop for use on the ACL between Petersburg and Richmond.

Wasn’t there a period when the 120 was widely know for being the power for the Cannonball (which I rode once in the ‘50s)?

  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,
