"In the fall of 1910 an order was placed for Brooks for twenty five engines numbered 3000-3024....While they were classified as freight engines they still were equipped with steam heat and air signal lines."
"As they arrived from the builder they were assigned to handle freight tonnage on the Hudson Division. Their satisfactory performance made the Motive Power people realize they had designed a very remarkable locomotive."

"K" was New York Central System designation for a 4-6-2. IIRC Bowser made an HO kit of this engine at one time.
