Photos taken shortly after the 1148 was equipped with ATC equipment clearly show the apparatus or control box under the running board on the right side just above the #2 driver, additional equipment on the pilot deck, and the pickup bars in from of the engine truck and behind the rear tender truck. The tender in this view is one of the 10,000 gallon, 16 ton USRA design as delivered with the K2's of 1919 but with an added doghouse. (Fireman's side, #1148 (N&W Photo, Trent Hulburt collection) |

The crew of train #38, with M2 #1125, still with the road pilot and pulling an N&W 12,000 gallon, 20 ton tender, await the highball at Durham, NC for the run to Lynchburg, VA. An M2 on the head end indicates a stop will be made to pick up cars of cigarettes on the way north (Bruce Lewis photo) |

In a downpour at Hagerstown, MD on Feb 5, 1957, the 1148 is prepared for a run south. In a few days it will be taken to the Roanoke shops, the ATC removed, and the locomotive sold to the Wise Coal & Coke Company in Virginia. (Photo, Tom Klinger collection) |

Ex-N&W M2 #1148 on the Wise Coal & Coke Company at Dorcester, way down in the "toe" are of Virginia. One of only two M2's sold, Wise had no need for the high number and proceeded to lower the number with a hammer and chisel. Note the silver piston and cylinder head, the drifting valve covers, and broken headlight lens. (Photo, Tom Dressler collection) |

The other M2 sold was #1140 to the Durham and Southern. Seen here in NC, pulling a 10,000 gallon USRA style tender with added coal boards and a doghouse, she served for many years. Note the fancy silver running board and wheel rim decorations and that one the injectors from the right side has been moved to the fireman's side of the engine (Photo, Tom Dressler collection) |

Until the delivery of the class S1a 0-8-0's, M2's were the mainstay switchers at many outlying points over the entire system. Note the dual injectors under the cab and power reverse details. Also in this view we see two different styles of rear tender switching steps. (N&W photo, Tom Dressler collection) |

The 1142 switches an RPO car at Portsmouth as an eastbound empty train rumbles by. Author Dressler threw many a scoop of coal into the 1142 during his early teen years while hanging around the depot at Portsmouth. (Photo, Tom Dressler collection) |
