This photo was taken in front of No. 279 Pacific class K-5 (4-6-2) in the back of the Louisville Depot in the Spring of 1950. #279 was paired with an extra large tender and often pinch-hit for one of the streamlined 4-6-2s to lead the South Wind.
Charlie Castner commented that Harry was often called "Grandpa" by the other crews

The 295 was unique. It was originally built in 1925 by Alco (American Locomotive Company) as a 3 cylinder version of the USRA Pacific class K-7. It was not too successful, and was being used as a parts source in 1940, when it was decided to streamline it for L&N's segment of the Chicago-Miami South Wind. It was painted Tuscan red and modified with conventional twin cylinders, a shroud, and a very oversize tender that held 27½ tons of coal and 20,000 gallons of water, purchased from the C&O, which allowed it to run 490 miles from Louisville, KY to Montgomery, AL, non-stop without taking on fuel or water. This was at the time the longest non-stop steam run in the United States according to L&N. Truth be told it took on water at Nashville and Birmingham on every run. If absolutely necessary it took on coal at Oakworth, AL, southbound and Memphis Junction, if northbound. Special high grade coal from Eastern Kentucky was shipped to Montgomery to be used exclusively for No. 295. On many occasions No. 295 arrived in Louisville with an empty tender, low steam pressure, and barely enough coal to make it to the South Louisville Roundhouse.
