Randy,

I'm curious...at 79 inches, where on the Erie system did the K-5s or K-5As
"stretch their legs"?

You were probably standing next to a K-5 or K-5A 4-6-2 on a
Cleveland/Pittsburgh train.  Its drivers, at 79", were the biggest on the
Erie.  The 0-6-0 switchers had the smallest : 50".

I trust under the new system that this "Reply" is a reply to the entire
list. My question is what was the range in drive wheel diameters on Erie
steam locomotives. I recall visiting the Erie Station in Youngstown, Ohio
in the late 1940s a number of times and standing near a passenger train
stopped at the station. . .
