As you may already know, we have here in New Zealand a very old American locomotive built by the Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works at Paterson, New Jersey, named K88 "Washington". This engine was sent out to New Zealand back in 1878, and was the first through express train to run between Christchurch and Dunedin of the same year. K88 has a strange history. After running for years as an express, she was discharged to lesser duty's on branch lines.
