19 001. I have recently found out that the 2-8-2 was a real rare item. It was actually a V-8 locomotive. The cylinders were in a V formation on the axles, and it was expected this locomotive would break all speed records. It was experimental, and here is a photo of it in better days courtesy of James D. Hefner.
L52 2006. A day or two after I arrived at Ft. Eustis in 1952, we were loaded on a truck and taken out into the woods to do brush cutting. As we passed Rifle Range Junction, I saw two German locomotives and a motor train. When I got back at week end, the streamlined 2-8-2 was scrapped, but the L52-KON Kreigsloco and the motor train were still there. They were gone shortly afterwards. Look at that huge condensing tender. The L52-KON was a simplified variant derived from the standard freight type class 50 according to Ewald.
