The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway's K-4 class were a group of ninety 2-8-4 steam locomotives purchased during and shortly after World War II. [1] Unlike many other railroads in the United States, the C&O chose to nickname this class "Kanawha", after the river in West Virginia , rather than "Berkshire", after the region in New England .
K5 #5698 was built at the PRR's Juniata Works (Juniata 4205 / 1929) in 1929, but having a works plate Altoona Works 4205 / 1929. This according to late Mr Ivan W. Saunders, Pittsburgh, Pa. A one-piece cast steel locomotive bed was used; this produced the locomotive frame, cylinders, and smokebox saddle as one giant steel casting.

The PRR J1 was an improved version of its C&O counterpart with more pulling power. J1 - 2-10-4 freight locomotives. J28 - experimental 2-6-2 locomotives.
