I always like to hear of another steam engine being preserved. It seems that there are an awful lot of old C&O K-naws, still extant. Do you know how many, and where? I know of at least 3. I'm sure there are more....
Thanks, Todd C.

I,also can think of about three K-4s still remaining. In the book C&O POWER published in 1965, there is alist in the back of the book that lists thirteen K-4s. Of those three were severaily damaged by vandals and therafter scrapped. that left atotal of ten. I dont know how many there are now, but if you would reply I can send you a copy of the list. thanks,Malcolm S

Do I assume that your reference to Broad St Station means that the #2732 is in Richmond, VA? There used to be a Broad St Station in Philadelphia. Other than that hint, I have no idea where this loco is. Can you be specific for this Michigander?
