N&W 425         
At WM's Maryland Junction shops, N&W 425 was ex-N&W 3904, nee-Wabash B904, one of the units built for NdeM but diverted to the Wabash, and used as a B-unit because all the controls were labeled in Spanish.

G Gerard General Kegley, WV in on the Virginian line. No other Kegley in the area according to bing or google maps. 9/4/2013 1:51:37 PM
John Flanigan General The correct location is Carpendale, WV, but the town was not incorporated until 1990. It was locally considered to be part of Ridgeley, WV or on railroad maps, the WM referred to it as their Maryland Junction Shops. 3/18/2021 2:35:41 PM
