C&O 2-8-4 Kanawah Berkshire Steam Engine - Trains Magazine

Balt:

The engine at Washington Court House is not NKP.  She is C&O K-4 2776.  C&O didn't operate into Washington Court House either, but B&O did, and I speculate that this was about as close to a B&O loco as the town could get.  I know it's a stretch.  Actually, of the 12 existing C&O K-4's, seven (more than half) are displayed outside C&O territory. 

2700  Dennison, Ohio (PRR station)

2705  Baltimore (B&O Museum)

2707  Union, IL  (Illinois Ry Museum, on a former C&NW branch)

2716  New Haven, KY (Kentucky RR Museum, on a former L&N line)

2727  Kirkwood, MO (Nat. Mus. of Transp., on a former M.P. line)

2736  Green Bay, WI, (Nat. RR Mus.  Green Bay was served by GB&W,

         MILW, and C&NW)

2776  Washington Court House, OH

The two surviving P.M. Berkshires are in Michigan, which is appropriate. 

Of the six surviving NKP Berkshires, four are located in NKP-served towns.   The two others are:

NKP 757 at the RR Museum of PA at Strasburg, PA (NKP did, after all,

             operate in PA)

NKP 759 at Steamtown, Scranton, PA
