Why such small wheels?

@Dinosorable it was a freight locomotive smaller wheels meant more power.

@pennyf9 The CW 45 looks like a Rio Grande K-36.

[pennyf9]

@Dinosorable kinda, but the K36 is a narow gauge locomotive, 45 is standard gauge.

@pennyf9 Yeah. And she has a different smoke stack, cow catcher, and face.
