Norfolk and Western Class K2

The Norfolk & Western Class K-2 were a series of 4-8-2 "Mountain" type steam locomotives that operated on the Norfolk and Western Railway.
==History==
10 of these engines were built by Alco-Brooks in 1919 for the Norfolk and Western Railway and were numbered 116–125. 
They were built for high speed passenger service, and they pulled the network's prominent passenger trains.
Some were streamlined in the style of the N&W's J-class 4-8-4s. In the late 1940s, in apparent defiance of the diesel revolution, N&W fitted the K-2s with roller bearings on all but the drivers, new fireboxes, stokers, and cylinders.
They were all retired from active service between 1957–1959 and sold for scrap.

== Trivia==
*The K-2a, another class of the K-2 series were numbered 126-137, and were built by the Baldwin locomotive works in 1923, a total of 12 were built. They were retired, and scrapped between 1958–1959.
*They were never built for freight service.
*A train appeared in Murderous Maths that is heavily based on either the streamlined version of this class or the J, which is numbered 120 (like one of the real members of the class) but has a slightly different wheel arrangement. As that book had been printed in black and white, the train’s true colours were never shown.
