NW-Mailing-List Digest, Vol 99, Issue 51 4-8-2 Scrapped

[NW Mailing List]

In some recent footage I acquired there are scenes of 3-4 different  
K2a's(4-8-2)
being towed to scrap at Batavia on the local from Portsmouth to  
Cincinnati.  On these too, the tender
stripe is gone, as is the N&W on the tender.  The tenders almost look  
as though they came from a different engine.
In one sequence two of these were coupled together near the caboose.
