| Photos by Richard Jenkins 3/20/99 | I had
heard some conflicting reports regarding the number of
the second M2 4-8-0 in the scrapyard. I had
initially heard it was 1131 (which is how I originally
had it on this site), but I was also told 1130, and
1134. Now, having seen the number on the engine for
myself, I stand corrected, it's 1134.
At first glance, 1134 appears to be in slightly better shape than 1118. Most notably, she still has her smokestack, unlike either 1118 or 1151. However, she is missing her connecting rod, on the fireman's side at least, as well as the radius rod. Since I was there on a Saturday afternoon after the scrapyard closed, I wasn't able to go in and get a look at the engineer's side. |

The cabside number shows positive proof that the second M2 is in fact no. 1134. | |
