Pulaski boiler

Info on the stationary boilers at Pulaski. The number following station is the boiler pressure of stationary boiler if known.  Following the locomotive boiler no. is the retired date of loco.  This is rather hard to copy and past from a spread sheet.  Better than retyping.
If your photo is later than 1928 it would be a replacement that I have no record. My records do not contain all stationary boilers by any means. If you took the photo it would have to be a new one.

  N&W used boilers from scrapped locomotives as stationary boilers in many locations. The one in the Crewe roundhouse was from a Z1. The one at Pulaski was from an M (and I took a photo of it at Bluefield before it was installed in Pulaski.) This one at Bristol looks like either an M or a W.

Looks like a loco was converter to a stationary boiler with one HECK of a stack added.  What a scene to model?Anybody know anything about this, like what loco was converted?Thanks,Jim Cochran________________________________________
