K's in the Making.

The big K locomotives, which look like black demons of power—and do not belie their looks, are made in these shops. The present programme provides for one engine every six weeks until the K family has a membership of thirty. When the writer paid his visit he saw five K's in various stages of growth, side by side. One was represented by nothing more than one frame—just a flank—to which all sorts of things would be attached. This beginner was at the foot of the class, and at the head stood one which was nearly ready for the road. Yes, it is an ingenious business.
