    Ole Johnny B.

  • I've never seen a K4 with smoke deflectors before.

  • Incredible sound!!

  • @EDDONLEY Yes it was.

  • @tinman3804 yes there are two left.

  • Are any of these engines still around???

  • 5406 spent most of her life on the Long Island Rail Road. She is my favorite K4s, due to some family history with her. Her headlight is exhibited in a useum, not far from where I now live in Maine! So good to hear her. The old girl was one of the last 7 to operate in 1957.

  • @boazrg If I remember correctly I believe that the front dome had to do with the front end throttle. Most K4 throttles were connected into the steam dome, usually the last dome closest to the firebox.
