N&W K-2a MOUNTAIN TYPEThe 4-8-2 was built by Baldwin in 1923 and scrapped in 1957 onlly a short time after I shot her in Roanoke on her way to the station for an engine change but badly in need of a wash and not looking her best. Yes, there were a lot of dirty steam engines but I also remember engines so shinny that you could shave using your reflection on the tender side.
