I thought NP too, but apparently I was wrong..
I thought it was crown sheet damage, there was an article in MR a while back.

I am not sure, but would guess the NYC since Alco was located on the NYC.

The 1111 was sold to NP because the locomotive was damaged on the NP. I think it was the cab. I read that in one of my books.

That's what I was thinking too. BTW, didn't the bearings give out while on NP?

ANSWER:

ONE, person who voted got it right.

The first all, completely roller bearing train was on the:

NEW HAVEN.

It was the name train MERCHANTS LIMITED - 12 Pullmans and 2 diners - the train led by 1111 made the 156.8 mile trip from New Haven to Boston (and next day return) in 1931.
